Friday’s Performance: Rose’s Pawn Shop @ 10pm in the Red Room

It may come as a surprise to hear the strains of Appalachian and Americana music channeled through five guys from Los Angeles, CA, but heartache, loss and regret have always been the cornerstones of great music, and this city has more than its share. In a town better known for porn stars and face lifts, anything as authentic and heartfelt as roses’s pawn shop is a pleasant surprise.

With an arsenal of guitars, banjo, thumping upright bass, fiddle and drums, delivering neo-classical-sounding melodies and lyrics, Rose’s Pawn Shop’s sound is a wholesome mishmash of creek mud, rusty nails and your mom’s cookin’. It’s sincere, straight-forward and sexy, effortlessly combining such disparate musical styles as rock, country, bluegrass, and punk to create an incomprehensibly smooth and accessible sound for true believers and skeptics alike.

The show is Friday, February 21 at 10pm in the Red Room!

Saturday’s Performance: Mama’s Cookin with Joseph Burtt & The King Tide (After Party with Zeb Early’s Smoked Out Soul) @ 10pm in the Crown Room!

Mama’s Cookin’ is now hotter than ever. This funky four piece mixes break-beats and hip-hop with dirty tough neo-blues and bottle-neck slide, creating an innovative new roots-rock sound.

Smooth but edgy, modern with an essential nod to the great music of the past.

Theirs are original songs of true beauty and deep intention, crafted with unique and timely lyrics, leave a lasting impression.

The show is Saturday, February 22 at 10pm in the Crown Room.
