#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.
