Black Thorn Rose is a Tribute Rock Band that brings the Party to the audience.
I had the pleasure to perform with Black Thorn Rose over 4 years ago.
What captured me about the band back then, was their diverse song list.
From Bon Jovi, to AC/DC, blink182 to Metallica, Judas Priest to The Cult, and all the great MTV 1980’s Rock, to more current Rock hit songs. Their stage presence, musicianship, and crowd interaction made for unforgettable shows.
Fast forward to today, their stage presence is magnetic, and their unique sound translates perfectly to a live setting. You can genuinely feel the passion in every song. They love to perform, and bring a fresh, dynamic vibe that sets them apart
from the usual crowd. And Black Thorn Rose delivers a great production, sound and lights.
A truly entertaining Rock live act.
I have seen Black Thorn Rose dozens of times over the years.
It is always a fun energizing experience watching them perform LIVE.
Led by the duo Roxanne and Mike Luther, it’s rare to find a band that sounds this
good live while delivering such a fun, engaging performance.
