The Horse's Ha: Expression and style


The Horse’s Ha is a unique blend of old and new, classic and innovative. Formed by the pairing of Jim Elkington - formerly of The Zinc’s - and Janet Beveridge Bean of Freakwater and Eleventh Dream Day, the initial goal was to play cover songs at expensive wine bars. Yet the songwriter in Elkington led the creation of a number of stylish originals, penned for Beveridge. With the addition of Fred Lonberg-holm, Nick Macri, and Charles Rumback, a band was born.

Of the Cathmawr Yards, the debut release for The Horse’s Ha, is acoustic and organic, playing out with defined ease and spacial clarity. Elkington’s lyricism is a perfect, poetic companion to Bean’s delicate delivery. The two duet, offering spirited, expressive readings of the 10 originals. To support the release, The Horse’s Ha will take to the road this month, playing the first of several mini-tours.
