The Rose Hips is the LA-based indie rock duo of vocalist Dane Schumacher and guitarist Michael Gryffin, lifelong friends who grew up together in Palo Alto, California before making their way to Los Angeles in their mid-20s to pursue music. After years navigating the LA scene, the two bonded over a shared love of classic rock, folk, and modern pop — a blend that now defines their sound: rich harmonies, timeless songwriting, and a modern alternative edge, all written, sung, and produced entirely by the two of them. Their debut single "Spacey," written and recorded during the very first session they ever had together, became a viral moment for the band — a nostalgic, sun-warmed track that builds from sparse, sentimental guitar into breezy, surf-rock hooks. It was followed shortly after by "The Sound," offering an early glimpse of a sound that feels fully formed right out of the gate. In a time when large bands are tough to sustain, The Rose Hips are flipping the model, proving two people can carry a full, cohesive sound on their own.
