As PawnShop kings, we’re two brothers singing and playing American music. We moved from the South to the Southern California coast as kids, and nothing has had a greater impact on our sound (which we call "the beach and the bayou") than those two places.
From all our years returning to the family farmland in West Memphis, AR to the calming force of growing up in the waves of the Pacific Ocean, the PawnShop kings signature quality grew out of the powerful American musical traditions of Memphis, TN, Muscle Shoals, AL, & Los Angeles, CA.
Music has always connected us to people. It’s what it does best, and what we love most about it.
