The Dad Horse Experience

At the age of 40 Germany-based DAD HORSE OTTN started playing music on a tenor  banjo given to him as a gift. Drawing inspiration from Appalachian music and the abysses  of his soul, he invented a genuine mixture of country gospel, singer / songwriter, punk rock, and oompah-pah polka labeled as “Keller-Country.” Singing his mysterious and otherworldly songs with  banjo, mandolin, bass-pedal, and kazoo, he tells bizarre and twisted stories about guilt, redemption, and the merchandise tables of heaven.

In 2019 the Dad Horse XP  turned from a solo project to a full blown collective of excellent and award-winning instrumentalists to build up a powerful live set with different casts.

Dad Horse Ottn and his band present a sureal and twisted melange from garage folk, punk and polka. Like a group therapy meeting at the gates of hell the Dad Horse Experience breathes honesty, weird humour and a somber mood with shockingly cheerful melodies sometimes.
