Rose's Pawn Shop with Shea Rafferty

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. With American Seams, the band's fifth studio release, Rose's Pawn Shop nod to the wide range of those influences with also doubling down on their folky roots. Produced by Grammy nominee Eric Corne during a series of live-in-the-studio performances, it's a raw, reflective album about stepping into a new stage of life, reflecting upon all the lessons learned and mistakes made along the way. For Givant — a journeyman songwriter who's weathered the twists and turns of the music industry, unwaveringly dedicating himself to a project that's earned high marks from Rolling Stone (who called the band's work "a blast of 21st century pickin'-party music") and GQ (who praised their "knee-slapping bluegrass-y twang") — it's also a showcase of the the band's staying power. This is resilient roots music, grounded in sharp songwriting and the hard-won experience of a band that's dedicated itself to the long haul.

Shea Rafferty

After spending a year deep in the wilderness of Wolf Cabin Studio, Shea Rafferty has re-emerged with a record that feels less like an album and more like a revelation. His upcoming 10-track LP ‘Livin’— due for release on 25th September —is nothing short of electrifying. Produced by the legendary Ed Harcourt (Paloma Faith, Sophie Ellis-Bextor) and mastered by sonic wizard Miles Showell (The Beatles, Amy Winehouse) at the storied Abbey Road Studios, the project crackles with intent.

Marking a bold new chapter, Shea steps confidently into a grittier, more rock-driven sound, unleashing expansive instrumentation, cinematic textures, and lyrics that cut straight to the bone. With Ed Harcourt lending his own musicianship across the album, ‘Livin’ stands tall as Shea’s most powerful and ambitious work yet.

Already two albums deep—featuring collaborations with the likes of Peter Buck (R.E.M.) and Jonny Quinn (Snow Patrol)—Shea has carved out a respected place in the UK Americana scene. His music has earned heavy rotation on Absolute Country, CountryLine Radio, BBC Scotland’s Iain Anderson, BBC Ulster’s Ralph McLean, landed on RTÉ Radio 1’s prestigious Recommended List, and earlier this month, Shea appeared on BBC 5Live in session for Patrick Kielty.

Onstage, Shea is a force. He’s sold out some of the UK’s most beloved venues—from Manchester Academy and Birmingham Symphony Hall to Glasgow’s Òran Mór and London hotspots like The 100 Club, Omeara, and Lafayette. He’s lit up major festivals including The British Country Music Festival and The Long Road Festival, and even taken his sound all the way to Nashville’s iconic Bluebird Café.

With ‘Livin’ on the horizon, 2026 is shaping up to be Shea Rafferty’s biggest year yet.
