Five Horse Johnson is an American blues-rock band, formed in 1995 from Toledo, Ohio. They have toured with such popular groups as Clutch and Halfway to Gone. The band combines hard rock, blues and other influences into a blend of stoner rock/blues music they call their own. Their latest album The Mystery Spot featured many special guests including drummer Jean-Paul Gaster from Clutch; on a related note they have played a worldwide tour with Clutch and Dub Trio.
They had the song "Mississippi King" from The No. 6 Dance featured on Tony Hawk's Underground and NHL 2K6, "I Can't Shake It" from The Mystery Spot was also featured on MLB 2K7.
Eric Oblander was featured on the Clutch album From Beale Street to Oblivion.
After a bit of a hiatus, Five Horse Johnson have regrouped. They played some European shows in mid 2011 and will be working on a new album for a future release through Small Stone Records.
