Cab20 Shark Tank Pitch
If the names "The Black Keys" and "The White Stripes" send a tingle down your spine, 18-year-old prodigy Ben Hoover and his band Cab20 may scratch that itch.
If you are part of the 99.9% of other people, Cab20 has three seemingly shy guys who express themselves through their rock music. Barbara sees a virgin, a John Lennon look-alike, and a guy who needs a bath.
I'm going to rename the band Greed
Cab20 has a band manager, Tom Callahan, with a history of marketing other bands. I don't speak martial arts, but it sounds like Tom has put his foot through many 8" by 8" wooden boards.
While I would've preferred to see the band play CeeLo Green's Kung Fu Fighting and watch Tom do flips, Cab20 kept it between the lines and got a crapshoot offer from Kevin and Robert, but they couldn't come to terms.

Cab20 After Shark Tank
Cab20's last YouTube video was in 2013 and seemed to have fallen apart. Ben Hoover continued to build bands and sing.
In 2022 Ben Hoover is still rocking through his band Hooveriii (Hoover three). In 2021 Hoveriii dabbled more in pop music. The most popular recent song seems to be "See", which has a beetles vibe to it and is on YouTube here .
