About Us
Dead Horse Records
D Founded in July 2000 in Bedford Stuyvesant Brooklyn, New York. In 2007 the company relocated to Woodstock, NY. Co-founders Travis Shook and Veronica Nunn started the label in response to the dwindling of major jazz labels and the increasing cutbacks on new artists being signed. Their idea, similar to many artists at that time, was to have a label where they could consistently record their own music, produce and make their CDs available for distribution.
