has been playing acoustic music professionally for over 25 years, first in the San Francisco bay area of California and now in and around central Florida.  Though concentrating on works from of the acoustically influenced 60s and 70s, John plays music from all eras from the 50s up to today.  With a repertoire of more than seven hours of music you will always hear something new. 

The Simple Cavemen continue their evolution from humble patio dwellers into a string-band skilled at sweet, suburban porch music.

Here is their story, recently found scrawled in primitive handwriting on the bathroom walls at a Central Florida Waffle House: 

In the beginning, there was a Phil Hartman skit on Saturday Night Live. And it was good. There was music by Bob Dylan and Doug Sahm, Jerry Garcia and Johnny Cash. There also was Hank Williams. And that was very good. 

Three chords and the truth. That’s how people described the power of a Hank Williams song. To the Simple Cavemen, three chords sounded simple enough, although they  weren’t above using just two if that worked.

Perhaps these Cavemen aren’t as simple as they claim? Perhaps this old, simple music exerts a power so mysterious and complex that someday it might change the world!  To quote another SNL alum, Medieval barber Theodoric of York: “Nah!!!” This band is simply a lot of fun

We invite you to listen to live bands play beautiful music in the Bier Garden. Enjoy the original sounds of Rose N' Thorne .  Accoustic, guitar, vocals and humor. 

Come and listen to the band and Simply have a lot of fun!
