After two decades of crafting soul-stirring music, Last Charge of the Light Horse is set to release their highly anticipated album In the Wind on October 5, 2024. Formed in 2004 as a vehicle for Jean-Paul Vest's introspective songwriting, the band continues to explore the joys and challenges of everyday life with an unmistakable blend of rock rooted in the golden era of the '60s and '70s, yet infused with a contemporary twist.
The band, fronted by Vest and backed by an incredibly talented group of musicians—drummer Shawn Murray, lead guitarist Bob Stander, and bassist Pemberton Roach—has maintained its core sound while evolving artistically. Their West Coast collaborators Jim Watts and Pam Aronoff also lend their talents to In the Wind, bringing even more depth to the album’s textured soundscapes.
