You’re starting from EXPERIENCE.”

MOJO (2025)

NEW! The latest recording from Rose and The Thorn features 12, all-new, original compositions. Every CD is shipped with a personal note signed by Briggs Geister (The Rose), Kevin Leis (The Thorn) and “Six String” Dave Sauer.


AFFINITY (2019)

Full of thoughtful ballads and jazzy jamming, it was Kevin’s first departure from his rock and roll history.

Discography

From classic rock to jazz-influenced ballads, Kevin’s and Briggs’ talents know no bounds!

JUST A NUMBER ( 2022 )

The album 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?

HOE (2002)

Released to critical acclaim, Rockfarmer was considered a regional rock and roll sensation. Available on all streaming platforms under the reissue name “The Essentials.”

DESERT FIRE (1996)

Glass PAC, Kevin’s Band, had one song on this compilation album, Heaven Knows My Angel. It was played as far away as Europe.
