The band has released one studio album entitled "There Goes the Neighbourhood" (2017)[1] and one EP called "A Little Unstable" (2017).[2]

Career

Nice Horse started in Hawaii with what was initially a girls trip to hang out and write songs.[3] In the summer of 2016 they opened for The Kentucky Headhunters in Lloydminster and played Big Valley Jamboree.[4] In the fall of 2016 they signed with Coalition Music Management.[5] In early 2017, they toured with Tom Cochrane on the Mad Mad World 25th anniversary tour. The band provided opening support sets on various dates across western Canada and joined Tom's band for three songs in Edmonton, Toronto, and Oshawa.[6]

The band released their first EP entitled "A Little Unstable", produced by Jeff Dalziel and Bob Rock, on February 24, 2017.[7] On September 8, 2017, Nice Horse released their debut album entitled "There Goes the Neighbourhood", also produced by Jeff Dalziel and Bob Rock, which featured singles "Mansplainin'" and "Pony Up". They have shared the stage with Jess Moskaluke, Gord Bamford, Aaron Goodvin, and Washboard Union. They have played festivals such as The Calgary Stampede, Boots & Hearts, Dauphin Countryfest, Big Valley Jamboree, Rockin' River Music Fest, and the Red Truck Concert Series.

Nice Horse placed second in the 2017 Project Wild competition hosted by Calgary radio station Wild 95.3.[8] Nice Horse teamed up with Can Praxis with Horses 4 Heroes. This foundation uses horses in order to help veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The band has done concerts in order to raise money and awareness for this foundation. They also released a standalone single entitled "O Holy Night" in 2017 with all proceeds going towards this foundation.[9]

On July 4, 2017, Nice Horse released their debut single "Pony Up" from their debut EP entitled "A Little Unstable". The music video for this song debuted alongside the announcement that they were named CMT Fresh Face Feature Artist[10] The music video for "Mansplainin'" premiered on March 8, 2018, for International Women's Day. The video shows the experiences that the band has with men and shows the band pushing for progress. They also premiered a live version of the song on Facebook Live at Facebook headquarters in Toronto, Ontario.[11] The single "Hot Mess" was released on March 5, 2020. The official music video for Hot Mess premiered on YouTube on May 18, 2020. The video was directed by Lisa Mann and stars Toronto-based drag queen Jezebel Bardot and has a special cameo from RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars winner Trixie Mattel.

The single "Cowgirl" was released on June 19, 2020. The single "High School" was released on January 22, 2021. The single "Good At Missing You" was released on June 4, 2021. In November 2023, they released the single "Things I Wish I Didn't Know".[12]
