In a global music scene where most bands find themselves
following a trend to get noticed, few bands keep with their
roots and stay true to the sound that defined the members as
musicians. San Diego's Her Bed of Thorns takes pride in
breaking that mold and showcases the elements that made rock
n'roll what it always has been about; attitude, energy,
musicianship and in this case, the Southern California coastal
lifestyle.
This four piece rock outfit hailing out of Encinitas,
California brings a blend of groove-based hard rock and
melodic, soulful vocals that stand out in a scene where
screaming reigns king. Armed with high energy and Marshall
charged guitar riffs mixed with their own brand of emotional
songwriting, Her Bed of Thorns has the ability to switch from
hard-hitting rockers to audience-grabbing ballads setting this
band apart from other current and past artists.
Founded in 2007 by vocalist/guitarist Chris Irick and
guitarist Tim Nicholson, Her Bed of Thorns went through an
evolutionary process that now defines their signature West
Coast hard rock sound. Bassist Tim Fennell and drummer Kevin
Skahill finalized the lineup in 2017.

Her Bed of Thorns' influences are gathered from a combination of traditional blues and heavier
classic rocks bands like Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Black Sabbath filtered and refined
through the decades to evolve into a more 90s-grunge/groove rock feel now compared to bands such
as Alice In Chains, Metallica, and Guns N' Roses... bands that put alternative hard rock on the map.
With their fast rise within the San Diego music scene and radio airplay on some of San Diego's
biggest rock stations, Her Bed of Thorns is well on its way to becoming a force to be reckoned
with and is enjoying the fruits of success in seeing their work being embraced by an ever growing
audience of listeners.
