Aug. 8 – Americana Folk Rock by Rose’s Pawn Shop

Rose’s Pawn Shop makes Americana-folk rock music inflected with the pulsing, vibrant energy of the players’ hometown of 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 four-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. 

The Brand Library & Art Center is located at 1601 W. Mountain St. in Glendale.
