Ace Brown and his Ohio Valley Boys

The Top in Hillbilly Hop!

About Me


Ace Brown hails from the backwoods of Ohio and has been playing music since he was a young pup! He gets the name "Hot Roddin' Hillbilly" from his love of traditional Hot Rods. When not performing, he can be seen tearing up the local dragstrips (and back roads!) all over the mid-west!
Back in 2002 He and his best pal Johnny Bones formed the Helldivers, a 3 piece rockabilly trio with drummer Fred "O.A.R." Borja. Later revised to a 3 piece with no drums, they set out with Nic Antonetti on rhythm guitar to create a more authentic rockabilly sound.
However, Johnny Bones is currently in the Air National Guard doing us all very very proud and, he also is enrolled in the Pittsburgh Aeronautics Institute and is keeping very busy doing that!!
In the meantime, Ace Brown is now performing more hillbilly bop/western swing and even good ol' rockabilly with his Ohio Valley Boys. Throw on your cowboy hat and check Ace and his Ohio Valley Boys in a town near you!
