Ivan & The Sabers

Centerville / Cincinnati, Ohio 1960-72 One of the longest lived south western Ohio area bands that started in the instrumental rock era and lasted through the garage band, psych, and hard rock genres. The band was started in 1960 by some Centerville High School students, primarily guitarist Dale "Ivan" Browne (source of the band name) and singer/keyboard player Larry Butler. The band recorded a couple instrumental demos (apparently lost to time) before getting spotted by Andy Apperson of Prism records.
