Dad Horse Ottn is usually singing, playing banjo, bass pedal and kazoo, spreading the word and drinking nothing else but water and soda and all that at the same time. Dad Horse Ottn zingt gewoonlijk, speelt banjo, bass pedal en kazoo, verspreidt zijn boodschap en drinkt niets anders dan water en soda en dit allemaal tergelijk. Dit noemt hij KELLER-GOSPEL.
De banjo em punho e com a sua performance desconcertante, The Dad Horse Experience consegue inundar uma sala com tamanho espírito sagrado que nunca imaginámos que pudesse existir. Cet homme à la personnalité marquante joue du banjo, du kazoo, de la basse à pédales et chante sa passion pleine d'ambiguïté et d'ardeur et avec tout le respect qu'il porte aux grands interprètes de gospel.

DEBUT ALBUM "TOO CLOSE TO HEAVEN"
"The music deconstructs old-time gospel folk, updating it and mixing it with folk German sounds and modern melodies. At times I can almost hear a Violent Femmes sort of voice peeking through. Through it all, Ottn’s pleas for redemption and the tales of why he needs to be saved give the album a bizarre, hallucinatory character that makes this by far the most original record I’ve heard this year." Mike Bigtime @ Paperdubs

Outsider music at its most extreme, this German band could teach its Americana musical cousins a thing or three about dark and dirty music.

His sound can most simply be described as oddly humorous lo-fi country gospel with a murderous streak that only wants to save your soul. Ninebullets.net

Johnny Cash may have written prison songs, but Dad Horse writes death row songs. Sepiachord

The Dad Horse Experience is one of my favorite bands.
It brings me to the brink of tears every time I give it a listen.

Un homme étrange aux messages parfois des plus bizarres comme il le reconnaît d'ailleurs lui-même, son spectacle et ses chansons étant truffés d'humour. ... Il n'en demeure pas moins que Dad Horse Ottn, allemand qui chante en anglais le gospel country des Appalaches, est un homme des plus talentueux. La Depeche
The combination of gospel feel with personal misery is genious! ...
The music is feel good with just enough self depretion and realistic charector to last a life time and spill on over into another life time! Spooky Holler

I wish my dad was this cool. This music is friggin awesome.

The Dad Horse Experience, fills you with the Holy Spirit you never thought existed. ... A secret prophet, a singing sinner, a half burnt missionary; makes any atheist doubt their faith, if at least to groove to one of his songs. Aepple; LVR @ Galilean Moons
LATEST NEWS New John Miller album should be finished by Christmas. Hope to have copies available by late January/early February. I'll let you know when it's ready. Johnny M

Thanks for accepting my request! The Dad Horse Experience is quite an experience. I picked up your Too Close to Heaven album and can't stop playing it. It is stuck in my head and won't leave. Good thing there is nothing else in my head...so there is plenty of room for your music.
but there is no the button maybe...but there will be enough time for your consideration about me and about that do you like me or not...i am patient about that...and i hope you are also patient about that....................
