Chapter 1: A Journey of Ups and Downs
Cavo, a band that has captivated audiences with their infectious melodies and thought-provoking lyrics, has faced its share of trials and tribulations throughout its existence. Formed in St. Louis in 1999, the band comprised Casey McPherson (vocals, guitar), Chris Hobbs (guitar), Brian Smith (bass), and Ryan Dowell (drums).
Their breakthrough came in 2000 with the release of their debut album, "Trashed," which spawned the hit single "Champagne." This song catapulted the band into the limelight, and they quickly embarked on a whirlwind of touring and recording.
Chapter 2: Discord and Debris
However, as the band ascended to greater heights, internal conflicts began to surface. In 2004, Dowell departed, citing creative differences. He was replaced by Joey Mrazek, who brought a new energy to the group.
Controversy also plagued Cavo when McPherson was arrested for driving while intoxicated in 2006. This incident damaged the band's reputation and cost them several lucrative opportunities.
Chapter 3: The Music Must Go On
Despite these challenges, Cavo remained resilient. They continued to release albums, including "Thick as Thieves" (2006) and "Bright Nights, Dark Days" (2009), which showcased their evolving sound and lyrical depth.
In 2011, Smith left the band, replaced by Billy Mohler. This lineup change once again injected fresh blood into Cavo, and they embarked on a successful tour of the United States and Europe.

Cavo's journey has been marked by both triumph and adversity. Their music, a blend of alternative rock, pop, and even country influences, has resonated with listeners around the world. They have shared the stage with renowned artists such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and Kid Rock.
Today, Cavo continues to perform and record, carrying the torch of their unique sound. Their catalog of songs, including "Champagne," "Let It Go," and "To Be Human," remains a testament to their resilience and unwavering passion for music.
