Driven by formative, familial experiences on their Arkansas plantation, born in Texas, and raised on the beach in southern California, PawnShop kings play the music of the american south with equal parts rock, gospel, country and pop. Their inspiration stems greatly from the melodic sensibility and honesty of the Staple Singers, Bob Marley, Eagles and Beatles. An early exposure to Southern black churches during their childhood fosters the deeper lyrical significance.

We play everywhere we can: bars, clubs, churches, street corners, venues, festivals, wherever. People in every environment, ourselves included, are looking to each other for a lift. We want to sing into that condition with our music.

We love that pawn shops give people a second chance. Our music, and the ability to build upon the gospel roots of our childhood, plays as our voice to that spirit of reinvention.
