7Horse is Joie Calio and Phil Leavitt, two of the three players from the band "Dada", whose hits, "Dizz Knee Land" and "All I Am" rocked the charts in the 1990s. 7Horse is what happens when you dump accelerant on the smoldering embers of creativity. Their music burns where cosmic country meets dirty blues, where primal urges unfold into bawdy nights, and where two friends, and longtime band mates, discover radically new sides of each other.
"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."
Both have been involved in other projects, Calio having released three solo records and Leavitt having been part of Butterfly Jones and Blue Man Group. But the notion of creating something new and sonically different took hold. The pair began trading ideas via iPhone, sometimes as little as just a riff and a phrase. This led to their debut album, "Let the 7Horse Run," which was recorded over three racehorse sessions in Gordons room in Woodland Hills and with Gregory Haldan and Jon Chi at In the Pocket Studios in Forestville, Calif.
In total, "Let the 7Horse Run" recalls a long lineage of blues music from Robert Johnson and Son House to Keith Richards, Led Zeppelin and early ZZ Top and even to contemporary purveyors like the Black Keys.
Says Leavitt: "It just feels like a total breakthrough. Wed tried for so many years to make something that would hold up to the standard of what wed done before. We blew all that out and started fresh." "Then 7Horse happened," continues Calio, "and it was like throwing gasoline on the fire."
Bull Run is a full-service, farm-to-table restaurant in a New England Tavern built in 1740. Plenty of free parking and tons of atmosphere.
