MySpace a place for friends

Performing live in the Philadelphia, Allentown, and Doylestown cities of Pennsylvania, and the New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland states of the USA, the band has hugged the east coast region, and has built up a loyal fan following.

Their musical journey has taken them from college concerts, religious retreat centers, private oratorios, and tri-state concert performances. Crown of Roses debut album, released in 1994, was a self-produced EP called Crown of Roses, First Water. It received good radio airplay in parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio, Virginia, and New Mexico. The album was self-produced and independently distributed in three countries, and within nine American states, mostly in Christian book and record stores, college bookstores, and religious gift stores. Crown of Roses, First Water album has been re-mixed and re-mastered by Golden Swan Records, and has been CD and digitally re-released for CDbaby, Oregon in the summer of 2006.

Crown of Roses has never really fit in with the Christian contemporary music scene. They have developed a unique, classic, Christian pop sound, and image. With a variety of pop/rock songs and ballads, all with a deep Christian message, the Jampo Brothers have created beautiful harmonies and have been compared to the great Simon and Garfunkel and to The Beatles. They released a double CD on the Canadian American Records/Golden Swan Records label, in 2003, called Crown of Roses, Second Taste, with two of the singles hitting the international charts. In Belgium, in February 2005, There Will Come A Day was number twelve on the Playlist Radio Eagle 107.9 FM Report, and INDIE Radio, best Christian spiritual song. This same single has been given substantial radio airplay on the east coast of the U.SA. In Australia, in March of 2005, their single, In Every Moment, AKA Holy Wounds, was number four (Canadian American Records) on ISON Radio International Network Playlist Report and remained on the charts for the year. Also 2004, Canadian American Records released it as a single on the WorldWide Radio CD. It was also released as a single on the Oasis Inspirational Compilation for radio airplay. It was nominated for the Pre-Grammy Nominations for Gospel Performance in 2005. Another single, Precious Blood, has received great attention by African internet radio stations and by the Independent Artist Company (IAC). Recently, for 2007, Crown of Roses, Second Taste double CD album has several other singles such as Alleluia and Mexico Way attracting many listeners on different digital partner superstore sites.

Most recently, Crown of Roses have been performing live over the past two years on a café/coffeehouse tour in central and southern New York, and throughout all of northeastern Pennsylvania, USA. The tour ended last fall 2006 and the band has been promoting and supporting the upcoming release of their new album, Crown of Roses, Third Sign, which is expected to be released sometime in 2009. In the meantime, another project, Crown of Roses, Fourth Journey EP is here and was released by Golden Swan Records this fall of 2007. The new material on these albums will showcase fresh, exciting, and dynamic new soundscapes. The lyrics , buoyed by the unique harmonies created by the Jampo brothers, will reach out, and grasp you at the very heart of your soul. You will be treated to some amazing musical moments that the band captured while recording this new album in the two different studios situated in the idyllic Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. In the end, this latest project by Crown of Roses will be a veritable Pandoras box full of pleasant surprises for listeners.
