More Than a Memory: Fresh Horses Channels the Thunder of Garth Brooks

When Les Smith and Fresh Horses hit the stage, the line between tribute and time warp disappears in a blaze of neon, steel guitars, and pure Oklahoma spirit. This isn’t cosplay—it’s resurrection.

From the opening stomp to the final singalong of “The Dance,” Smith doesn’t just sound like Garth Brooks—he becomes him. There’s swagger, there’s ache, there’s that unmistakable thunder rolling through the crowd. Every track is delivered with arena-sized heart, and every fan—country diehard or curious passerby—gets caught in the stampede.

Fresh Horses isn’t just honoring Garth. They’re hauling his legacy across the border and back again, one standing ovation at a time.
