ABOUT: ROSES PAWN SHOP

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. From their high energy headline shows to sharing a stage with Lucinda Williams, Railroad Earth and Jack White and The Raconteurs to playing prestigious festivals like Riot Fest Chicago, Hardly Strictly Bluegrass San Francisco. Bottle Rock Napa and Wakarusa in Ozark Arkansas, 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. A devoted fan base and critical praise has followed the evolution of the band from their first release, the rootsy, bluegrass-heavy The Arsonist to the break-neck roots-rock of Dancing on the Gallows to 2014’s soulful Gravity Well (produced by Ted Hutt after his success with Old Crow Medicine Show and the Dropkick Murphys) In May 2022, RPS signed a two-record deal with KZZ Music in Los Angeles.

Their new record, 'Punch-Drunk Life,' dropped on February 24th, 2023, and is already boasting multiple charting songs on Roots Radio and terrestrial Americana Radio.

ABOUT: THE FAR WEST

web | Spotify | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube

"Technically pure, slightly jaded, no-nonsense and honest with stellar storytelling for the every-man." The Far West came together in early 2010, each member having left other bands to pursue a unique sound they weren't getting elsewhere. Robert Black, hailing from Texas has played in dozens of bands from the plains all the way to the coasts (in both directions). In his Texas days he backed a number of bands in all day BBQ hoedowns and late night jam sessions. He even had a band share a bill with Townes Van Zandt. In Los Angeles, after working as a session bassist for several LA bands like Leslie & The Badgers, West of Texas & many others, he met singer Lee Briante. Briante comes from the fertile Hudson Valley of NY, by way of the rolling hills of Western Mass. His parents instilled a deep love of music in him from a very early age, taking him to see a wide variety of music like Arlo, Pete Seegar, Charlie Daniels and many others. Memories of rowdy irish bands burning through bow rosin in low ceiling riverside taverns stand out in his mind. Lee has been playing in bands since he was 15 or so, among others he played in the Northampton, MA ambient band paris., the Boston band 1986 and the LA based Queen Victoria. Ready to start a project of his own he made contact with Robert Black by posting a simple craigslist ad that consisted of nothing more then a Waylon Jennings video. James Williams, Keys, has played in Biirdie, the breakups, and SpongeBob SquarePants and the Hi-Seas.

He has performed live on KTLA Morning News, KXLU, and KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic with Nick Harcourt. James has hared the bill with Mates of State, my ex-girlfriend's favorite band, thereby winning the breakup.His permanent medical records include that I drink cosmopolitans. Taylor Negron once called him a poseur. Chicago native Aaron found his true passion for music when he picked up his first guitar at fourteen. He's played was an integral part the Chicago band, Dorian Taj.

Aaron has also been seen playing with Clip Art, Dick Prall, The Eighth Grade, The After School Special, Hobo and Boxcar, Face for Radio, Coldcock Jones and the Shithawks, The Last Vegas, and Keith Scott. On the drum perch, a California native and Los Angeles music scene stalwart, Travis Popichak. Travis is a hotly sought after drummer in LA, as much for his drumming as his unique and flamboyant style of dress. His mutton chopped mugg has been seen behind the kit for Paul Chesney, Leslie & The Badgers, Welldiggers Banquet, Ben Redell and countless others.
