~ Sondra J. Franks

“What great energy and talent! “The Thorn” is the consummate entertainer and tackles his pop selections with aplomb. “Rose” is an undiscovered jazz chanteuse like no other. A perfect duo to entertain and get your gatherings up and going!”

Just a Number…

The new album from Rose and the Thorn, is both a celebration of midlife love, and an inspirational love letter for other boomers who still have many stories to tell. We have history, we have life experience, we’ve been high upon the mountain and down in the hole. We also have a wealth of creativity. If now is not the time to bring it all to the world, then when?

LISTEN NOW!

“Don’t be afraid to start over again.

This time you’re not starting from scratch.

You’re starting from EXPERIENCE.”
