ABSINTHE ROSE is a Boston based band consisting of singer songwriter Kimbo Rose on acoustic guitar and vocals and a core rhythm section of well-seasoned Boston area music veterans. The band mixes different styles of music into their own blend of Folk with a strong DIY ethic and both personal and political subject matter! ABSINTHE ROSE is the musical brainchild of singer songwriter Kimbo Rose and was originally formed in 2008 as a solo acoustic project based out of the Medford and Ashland Oregon area. Sometimes accompanied by friends and fellow musicians Chari on Washboard, Ash on Violin, and Leah on Saw, Kimbo began performing regularly throughout the Southern Oregon for the next year or so before relocating to Boston in the spring of 2009! Soon after moving she self-released her debut CD entitled “Digging Ditches & Escaping Holes” on her newly formed DIY as it gets record label called SCREECH OWL RECORDS. This was a ten-track solo acoustic album of material she had been playing for years in Oregon and recorded in Boston soon after the move. In the spring of 2010 Kimbo Rose partnered up with Bill on Bass, Josh on Banjo, Nick on Electric Guitar and Rich on Drums and the band as you know it today was born!
