Blues-Rock-Cosmic Country-infused-Duo with edge, passion, and soul – Son House/Keith Richards/Black Keys meets a next door neighbor of the Ramones high on Led Zeppelin.
7Horse is what happens when you dump accelerant on the smoldering embers of creativity.
The fresh avenue for rock veterans Joie Calio and Phil Leavitt, 7Horse’s music burns where cosmic country meets dirty blues, where primal urges unfold into bawdy nights, and where two friends — and longtime bandmates — discover radically new sides of each other. All that, and maybe a bucketful of booze and a few bottles of pills, are embodied on the duo’s debut album “Let the 7Horse Run.”
“This is all about riff and groove,” Leavitt says of the duo’s quest to tap into the roots of rock ’n’ roll’s rich past. “It’s about laying something down that’s so good you want to hear it forever.”
The journey began innocently enough, with Calio standing among throngs of fans at a major music festival getting the itch to rock out. “I kept thinking, ‘I could be up there tearing this place apart. I want to still be doing that,’” he says. “I called Phil and that started the conversation.”
Calio and Leavitt were stuck in a seemingly interminable holding pattern with their longstanding project dada, the trio responsible for the hits “Dizz Knee Land” and “All I Am” but whose efforts to make a sixth studio album had stalled. Both had been involved in other projects, Calio having released three solo records and Leavitt having been part of Butterfly Jones and Blue Man Group.
