#194 - Prize Horse (Jake Beital)

This week, Tate sits down with Jake Beital of Prize
Horse for an unforgettable convo that kicks off with an
instant Minnesota connection. From the Twin Cities to deep dives
into the local music scene, Jake paints a vivid picture of home —
and yes, he comes prepared with a stacked list of his favorite
hometown restaurants.


After a quick warm-up, the two dive into the heart of it:
music. Jake opens up about Under Sound, the
record Prize Horse dropped last year that’s taken on a timeless
life of its own. Even two years after recording, he’s still proud
of what they created — and listeners clearly agree.


They also look back on their recent tour with
Gleemer, calling it a huge honor, and preview
what’s next: dates with Superheaven,
Glare, Spy, and a
just-about-to-kick-off run with Soul Blind.
Prize Horse is not slowing down anytime soon.


Jake also shares what it’s been like coming up in a close-knit
local scene, the friendships that helped build the band, and what
keeps that community thriving. From lyric writing and album
artwork to the very first time he picked up an instrument —
nothing’s off the table in this wide-ranging, heartfelt
interview.


Whether you’re a fan of the band, the scene, or just love a good
story — this one’s a must-listen.
