Rose’s Pawn Shop Release New Single ~ “Darken My Door”

Acclaimed Americana roots band Rose’s Pawn Shop return today with their brand-new single, “Darken My Door“, a haunting blend of 70s blues/country grit, driven blues guitar, and the band’s signature fiddle-fueled fire. The track captures both the raw energy of their live shows and the seasoned storytelling of frontman Paul Givant, balancing urgency with reflection as it pushes their sound into bold new territory.

The song is the latest preview of American Seams, Rose’s Pawn Shop’s fifth studio album, produced by Grammy-nominated Eric Corne and recorded live-in-the-studio at Robby Krieger’s Love Street Sound in Los Angeles. Across the album, the band leans into their folk and bluegrass roots while embracing the amplified crunch of rock & roll and the reflective spirit of country songwriting. “Many elements of American Seams harken back to earlier Rose’s Pawn Shop,” says longtime bassist Stephen Andrews, “but we still found new territory to broaden our sound… tapping into some ’70s blues/country vibes on tracks like ‘Darken My Door.'”

For two decades, Rose’s Pawn Shop have evolved their version of modern-day American roots music. Formed by Givant in Los Angeles, the band began as a bluegrass-inspired outfit with punky tempos and rock & roll energy, before expanding their palette with the sweeping sonics of folk and country. Their hard-touring reputation has carried them from the fishing villages of Alaska to desert roadhouses and festival stages across the U.S., while earning praise from outlets like Rolling Stone (“a blast of 21st century pickin’-party music”) and GQ (“knee-slapping bluegrass-y twang”). Now celebrating their 20th year together, Rose’s Pawn Shop continue to stitch together the patchwork of American music with authenticity, grit, and heart.
