Rose’s Pawn Shop makes Americana-Folk-Rock music inflected with the pulsing, vibrant energy of their hometown Los Angeles, interwoven with strains of old-time Appalachian folk, country, and bluegrass, and infused with poetic lyrics gleaned from hard lessons learned and years on the road.
The band delivers folk-rock strains of banjo, fiddle, and 4-part vocal harmonies, with super-charged electric guitar, thumping stand-up bass, and driving percussion. This arsenal of sound is all held together by frontman Paul Givant’s vocals and songwriting which make folk archetypes new, and bring personal experiences to life with lyrics that are alternately incisive, exuberant, whip-smart and heart-breaking. Their new record, ‘Punch-Drunk Life,’ dropped on February 24th, 2023.
“Rose’s Pawn Shop has harnessed the crucial elements of their sound – deft picking, smooth harmonies, and terrific songwriting to arrive at this uplifting effort, one of the more joyous recordings in recent memory.” — Jim Hynes, Glide Magazine
