Bohemian Sunrise was conceived in a dimension other than our own, where the ancient musical deities pondered around a smoking cauldron, concocting an experience that fuels the creative energy within. The result was an eclectic entity called Bohemian Sunrise.
BoSu is an eye-opening, soul-shaking, mind bending musical eruption. This unique group doesn't just perform a song, they paint it, using sound as their palette and the audience as their canvas, so the listener sees, feels, and hears the music. Delving into a gritty funkadelic persian underworld, to find it leads into a calypso soul carnival is all part of this phenomenal sonic exploration. With strong seasoned voices, magnificent harmonies, and a mastery of the age-old language of the drum creating a kaleidoscope of rhythms, this is a sound that transcends cultural bounds, calling to that higher state of mind. Come experience the group that has been dubbed the "true voice of the global spirit". Come dance with BoSu. |

| A Loved One Lost - We'll miss you, P-Bear |

A dear friend of ours, P-Bear, who worked at Frolic on the Pike, passed away in late 2005. In true GD tradition, P-Bear always had a smile on his face and a kind word to share. He was a great supporter and a true friend of the band and he will remain in our hearts forever. We love you and miss you, P-Bear...until we meet again. Important: Frolic has started a P-Bear Fund to help his family with their sudden loss. They desperately need all the help they can get. Please stop in to Frolic on the Pike in Oaklyn, NJ and contribute. If you want to be notified of any special events for our good friend, please click here. |

| Interviews, Reviews, Write-ups - BoSu gets love from the press... |
|
An Honest Tune: "With intoxicating, Bohemian Sunrise has created another extension in music's historical lines of percussive-heavy jambands. Whether it's Santana or Rusted Root or Bohemian Sunrise, there will always be a place on this earth for the music of the soul to unite all under the flag of island grooves, raw power of instrumentation, and strong sharing of musical ideas. Intoxicating is just that, and it will leave you smiling all the way to the next show."
Relix: "...unity is certainly evident in their rich polyrhythmic and Latin-influenced danceable music...The interspersing of tight songs and flowing improvisations is perfectly balanced."

It is with BitterSweet reserve that we announce the departure of percussionist Larry DeMark from Bohemian Sunrise.
