MISSISSIPPI MUSICIANS GROUP
Royal Horses
Hattiesburg, MS
Royal Horses brings intense musical energy and a variety of influences with them everywhere they play. From searing guitar work and thunderous drumming, to soaring trumpet solos and tightly knit vocal harmonies, this band leaves audiences wanting more, and their track record in and around the southeastern US shows that. Royal Horses pulls from a catalogue of original music that goes back almost ten years, and a repertoire of covers that stretch across the last century.
Royal Horses is a highly professional group of working musicians who are actively working to expand their performances to new venues.

​Royal Horses have been members of MMG since 2025.

Artist's Story
Royal Horses is a Hattiesburg, Mississippi based rock band formed by Shelby Kemp and Daniel Firth. The band got its start in 2016 playing shows around South Mississippi and has been steadily expanding their touring range in the years since. The now five piece band has played in venues from Virginia to Colorado and all around the Southeastern United States. The band released their debut album in 2020, A Modern Man's Way To Improve, and toured on the back of that album following the pandemic. In 2022 the band released their second record, Where The Purple Flowers Grow, on Eddie Robert's Denver based record label, Color Red Music. The Royal Horses of today has gone through a few lineup changes, with 2022 seeing the addition of Scott Chism on bass guitar, and 2023 bringing the addition of Brandon Kenyon on the trumpet and Lynsey Terry on vocals. Combine that with the powerhouse drumming of Daniel Firth, and the guitar slinging, singing and songwriting of Shelby Kemp, and you get the most powerful, mature, and musically diverse version of Royal Horses ever.
