Fools & Horses

A Washington Times article highlights the local band, Fools & Horses, as they gain success. The band members call Maryland home, but they are often asked why they haven't moved to New York City.


"We have family here. It's so close to everything, and we've been fortunate enough to break reasonably well into the D.C. scene, too," lead vocalist Matt Hutchinson said.


The band formed in 2002 and had a big break opening up for Bon Jovi in 2006 at the Verizon Center. They recently recorded their third album.


Fools & Horses's next big step is traveling to Japan to perform for the troops. Before this, they could be seen regularly at the Iota Cafe in Arlington, the Recher Theatre in Towson and the Red House Tavern in Baltimore.


I first saw this band last year at Paws at TU. It's not often that in a set you like every song, but every song they performed sounded like a hit. My roommate and I came back and looked them up online right away. The band can be seen in a send off show on March 6th at the Recher. You won't want to miss it!


Andrew Leahey reported for the Washington Times. He mentioned the lead vocalist and guitarist, but left out the other two members of the band. The exact time of the band's trip to Japan wasn't included in the article, and there was no mention of the send off show. I would have asked the band for their inspirations and reported on how they came together. This is an article for them to hold on to so they can look back when they really make it big.
