Biography
The roots of the Horse Cave Trio run deep. From the bluegrass of Kentucky, to the mean streets of Detroit. From the rockin' SUN sounds of Memphis to the raw blues of Chicago. The Horse Cave Trio combine all of their influences to create an exciting sound that is completely original yet very familair.
The Horse Cave Trio debuted in the fall of 2002. Ron DeVore had achieved success on the West Coast, Europe and Australia with his hard rockin' band Empty Set. DeVore, a true rockabilly devotee was looking to form a straight-ahead rock-n-roll trio that would perform and record original roots rock. Ron found the perfect partner in guitarist Lou Simon, a veteran of the Detroit music scene who has performed and recorded with several well-known acts. Rounding out the Trio is brother-in-arms Tony Bizon on the thundering drums.
The Horse Cave Trio are named for the small town in Kentucky where DeVore's parents met. The Trio made their dynamic debut in Horse Cave, KY at the 2005 Horse Cave Heritage Festival, which was filmed for the finale of the reality TV show, "Small Town Makeover".
The group released it's first full length CD titled "Hot Rods, Choppers & Rock'n'Roll" on the Tropic Lightning Label in 2004. The follow up to this successful debut was "Curb Service" released on the Embassy Hotel Record Label in 2006. The disc features 11 original songs, including "Hillbilly Rock'n'Roll", "Rev It Up" and "She's the One". The music travels the American lanscape from gospel to country, from the blues to rockabilly with several stops along the way.
2008 will see the release of the band's first DVD, entitled "Live At The Dive". This DVD captures the power of a live Horse Cave Trio performance filmed in Detroit.
