Warming up for his spring album release Tommy Benefield (namesake behind ex-LOOP RECORDS Folk-Rock/Reggae band: TOMMY) is on tour with the guitarist from his new band THE FALLEN HORSES.

They are going to 11 towns over 4 weekends to celebrate the launch of their new website and to spread the word about there upcoming September album release.


This series of intimate acoustic shows features rustic melodic harmonies, evocative lyrics and emotive and emotional musicianship. Fallen Horses guitarist Finn’s fluid lead guitar and finger picking integrate seamlessly into Tommy Benefield’s stunning voice and captivating lyrics.

Reminiscent of Bonnie Prince Billy’s ‘Superwolf’ collaboration with Matt Sweeny or Gillian Welch’s Time the revelator album with David Rawlings. Tommy and Finn, with their Laurel-Canyon-in-the-70’s sensibilities, cast an alt-country, indie-pop spell like no other.

tommyandthefallenhorses.com sets a new standard for indie websites with all the usual bells and whistles such as photos, lyrics, tour info, video clips etc. Tommy’s new site also allows people to join up and get free fortnightly downloads of exclusive demos. It also boasts interactive blog, podcast, film and photo pages where fans can download there own media on to the site. Chat-rooms are still being developed as are a bunch of special features for members (membership is free) and on top of that all Tommy’s albums (including the new one, come September) are available for purchase or download direct from the website.
