Bio

Alt-Country, Indie-Pop and Folk-Rock band Tommy and The Fallen Horses are undeniably one of the most compelling groups to emerge from New Zealand’s rich musical landscape in the past decade. Crafting his work with deep artistic integrity, poetic singer-songwriter Tommy Benefield has gained a loyal following in the New Zealand music community (Shortland St, Outrageous Fortune, Sunday Star Times, National Radio).

After a five year hiatus, Tommy and The Fallen Horses return with their sophomore album, Openhearts. Described by Nick Bollinger as “soul-baring, heartfelt and well-crafted,” Openhearts is deeply rooted in emotive melodies and driving alt-country riffs — the quintessential road-trip record. The album, produced by Geoff Maddock (the mastermind behind Goldenhorse’s commercial triumph Riverhead), is released on 13th September 2019.

Band Members:
John Savage (drums)
