"A great Irish pub band who gets the audience involved in the music with their energetic, upbeat, toe tapping, foot stomping, humorous songs."

Based in the Youngstown Warren Ohio area.

Rose & Thistle was formed in 2002. After 4 years of being "Irish Rovers", rambling around the countryside of Northeastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania on St. Patrick's Day with The Dolan Family Singers, it was decided that the area could use a little livening up. Our local Irish Pubs needed some Irish Music the other 364 days of the year.

Rose & Thistle started when we thought, "Lets see if we can bring the Irish Spirit to life again at Clancy's Pub" (a place we'd frequented in years past). Clancy's welcomed us every Friday night for a year and a half, people jumped on the jaunting car (the band wagon) and the Irish Spirit grew from there. In February 2006 Zachary Miller joined the band, his fiddling has added a new dimension to the Rose & Thistle sound. We have been enjoying the music that much more ever since.
