Boulder, CO Rose Hill Drive Daniel Sproul scored Sammy Hagar’s digits before he legally purchased a drink. Along with his brother Jake, Daniel, 20, began writing songs in his parents’ basement as a teenager, cycling through drummers before settling on high school friend Nate Barnes. While their peers prepared for the SAT, the Sprouls studied rock-and-roll; they grew their hair long, earned a number of suburban noise citations and learned the art of the all-night party. Sobering up in their early 20s, Rose Hill Drive began to rise through the ranks of Boulder’s jam-friendly club circuit, offering the city some much-needed amplified rock-and-roll. Despite being led by Daniel’s guitar and Jacob’s equally vocal bass lines, the Sprouls say Rose Hill Drive hasn’t fallen victim to sibling rivalry. “Jake and I have been locking ourselves in a basement and writing,” Daniel says. “We’re trying to come up with as much material as we can before we enter the studio.” Appearing at festivals such as Bonnaroo and All Good, and opening for everyone from Umphrey’s McGee to Van Halen, Rose Hill Drive’s message is simple: “We just want to rock.”
