Horsefly Gulch and The Velvet Ants

“Link Wray meets Primus by way of Crazy Horse, or what might happen if Rush played incognito at a cowboy bar - Horsefly Gulch is a twang-tastic good time!” - Michael Witthaus Inspired by the retro-rock of the 70s mixed with hints of modern folk, Horsefly Gulch's roots run deep in the New England music scene. Branching off from a well-known New Hampshire metal band, the trio moves away from the heavy side of things while keeping its sound firmly rooted in classic songcraft. The band released their debut album, A Western Love Story, on March 19th, 2024, to a strong response from fans and press alike. Based in New Hampshire, with a growing following across the Seacoast, Boston, and Southern Maine — 50+ shows played since 2024. Horsefly Gulch is currently writing and recording Samsara, a follow-up to A Western Love Story, coming in 2027. The Velvet Ants are an alternative rock band from Northern VA that later reformed in Boston, MA
