Dead Horse Records

Dead Horse Records More than just a record label! Founded by Travis Shook and Veronica Nunn in 2000 to promote music c In 2007 the company relocated to Woodstock, NY.

We also have educational services geared to performance etiquette. These sessions are conducted around the world.

TRANSART Presents: Jazz in the Valley

Hello listeners,
As we move into the month of May, we’re excited to bring you a lineup of true jazz powerhouses for our featured artist series.

We begin with 2007 NEA Jazz Master Curtis Fuller—a remarkable trombonist whose sound helped define the hard-bop era. As a key member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, Fuller brought both strength and lyricism to one of the most influential groups in jazz history.

Join us as we kick off the month celebrating his enduring legacy and powerful contributions to the music.
