Rose Hill Drive

After 17 months of downtime, except for one gig opening for Jane's Addiction on New Year's Eve 2009, Boulder-based rock and roll band Rose Hill Drive is coming out of hibernation to debut the addition of a new member, bass player Jimmy Stofer, and rehearse brand-new new material.

In 2003, Daniel Sproul, his brother Jacob and childhood friend Nate Barnes began practicing in the basement of the house on Rose Hill Drive in Boulder that the Sproul brothers grew up in. Since then, they've released two albums, several EPs, and developed a worldwide fan base. In 2009, the trio went on hiatus.

In the ensuing months, Jacob switched from bass to guitar, bassist Stofer came on board, and the band began writing new material. Stofer was previously a member of such local favorites as Hello Kavita and Dualistics.

Rose Hill Drive's raw, emotive rock has earned the group high praises from both critics and fellow musicians alike. The band has opened for Wilco, The Black Crowes, Queens Of The Stone Age, Van Halen, Aerosmith and The Who, among others.
