Hailing from Northern Illinois local Hard Rock band Black Cherry Rose has had a difficult run that has lead to a passionate rebirth! Singer/Songwriter Adrian "Abe" Frazer set out on a difficult journey to create the bands debut album with help from several talented local artists! He finally completed and released the debut album in December of 2020. Since then through several member changes and failed follow up attempts he has finally rebuilt the band and is preparing for the bands sophomore record to release in late 2021 to early 2022!

Here’s the backstory of how HSP came to be. (Excuse the rhyme)

I started playing the drums at the age of 6. Then the guitar, the bass, singing, and screaming all followed shortly after. 

I’ve been in a multiple successful bands. And was very blessed to be able to play at and headline at the legendary Chicago House Of Blues. I’ve also had the pleasure of opening up for bands such as Hollywood Undead, Pop Evil, Art Of Dying, Masked Intruder, and Carousel Kings, and as I’ve gotten to tour all over Midwest. But then Covid hit. So I was kind of at a stand still. Now, keep in mind, while I’ve been able to tour and open up for all those amazing bands I still had a “Day Job” at the time. 

Now, when COVID-19 hit and was just starting to ruin EVERYTHING for EVERYONE, This guy by the name of Andrew Imbesi hit me up. He got me to take his Mini Music Marketing Class/Course called Boge Group Media. While I was in his class, I was taught how to market and sell myself as a musician! While Taking his courses I was still working at Portillos. But, mid way through taking the classes, I had reached my “breaking point” so to speak at Portillos! So I just up and didn’t show up for work the next day. 

I told Andrew that I had quit working at Portillos, and he happily congratulated me. 

Thus going into preparations for starting my own label and studio called Heavy Sticks Productions. Which I’ve been doing for the last 4-6 months now.
