Rose's Pawn Shop
For two decades, Rose’s Pawn Shop have evolved their version of modern-day American roots music. It’s an anthemic sound that’s taken the group from their hometown of Los Angeles — where frontman Paul Givant formed the band as a bluegrass-inspired act, making room for punky tempos and fiddle solos — to venues across the country, where their sound grew to encompass the sweep of rock & roll, the sonics of folk music, and the storytelling of country.

Eric Gorsuch
Eric was born in Nashville and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. Country and Western are in his blood. Living in California not only influenced his horsemanship, but also added to his musical tastes. His musical influences range from Merle Haggard, Waylon, and Ray Price to Dave Stamey, Ian Tyson and Mike Beck. You may hear the essences of Grady Martin, Roy Nichols or Tony Rice as fragrant ornaments from his guitar. He calls much of what he does Western-Flavored – country/folky/grassy songs in a western context. A West-Coast combo that is not contained by genre.
