We are at the very beginning of everything. It has not been pretty, it has not been quick, but we are here and we are waiting. Part of a new swath of young artists emerging in the Philadelphia folk scene, Black Horse Motel features four musicians, erratum, four diligent worker bees, drawing on rich traditions in western and eastern folk music to create (hopefully) warming, accessible and fervent songs. It remains to be seen what the future holds for these four hopeful troubadours, but they have certainly begun finding their voice. Springtime 2010, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After several lineup changes and countless auditions, the right combination of people came together to form Black Horse Motel as it stands today. Although only together for a few months, the band has engineered a sound that reflects a natural familiarity between musicians who have played together much longer. They sing, they dance, they blend their respective instruments and creative voices into a single, cohesive and cogent concoction. With a base of new songs penned but never perfected, the folks in Black Horse Motel are readying for 2011, preparing to record, to perform, to promote, to befriend and to etch their name into the wall of every Philadelphia bathroom stall that is available.
