The Howling Diablos rockin, funky, blues jam style is well known in Detroit, and everywhere they have toured, as a great live music experience. Since their formation in the 90’s they have toured with and opened for acts including George Clinton’s Parliament Funkadelic, Alice Cooper, Albert Collins, Ben Harper, Hank Williams Jr, NRBQ, Incubus and The James Gang as well as headlining their own shows.
Recordings include Beatnik Mambo(Teenage), Live(Top Dog) and Green Bottle(Overture). The Bass Brothers, now teamed with Eminem, produced the title track, “Green Bottle”, a local hit.
Good Rockin Tonight(Sire), an Ahmet Ertegun produced tribute to Sun Records, features the Diablos cut “Wine Spo Dee O Dee” with a guest appearance from Kid Rock. This record also spawned a film for the PBS series, “American Masters”, featuring a performance by the band.
The Diablos appeared on Fat Possum releases by Nathaniel Mayer and RL Burnside that were produced by Tino Gross.

Horse Cave Trio
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 a lot of influences to create an exciting sound that is totally original and yet very familiar. The Horse Cave Trio formed late in 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 high-energy 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 recorded and performed with several well-known acts. Rounding out the Trio is brother-in-arms Tony Bizon on the thundering drums. The Horse Cave Trio were named for the small town in Kentucky where DeVore's parents are from. The group released it's first full-length CD, "HOT RODS, CHOPPERS & ROCK'N'ROLL" on the Austin Texas indie Tropic Lightning in 2004. The follow-up to this successful debut was the March 2006 release of "CURB SERVICE" on the Embassy Hotel Record label.
The band latest release "Hart Country" was released on Funky D Records this past fall to strong review.
