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.

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

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

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.
Zebulon Whatley (Sons of Perdition)
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.
