Out today, American Seams (Copaco/Blue Élan Records) marks the fifth studio album from Rose’s Pawn Shop and serves as a defining statement from a band twenty years into their evolution through modern American roots music. Produced by Grammy nominee Eric Corne and recorded live-in-the-studio, the album captures the group’s raw chemistry and lived-in sound — blending folk, bluegrass, country, and rock & roll into a reflective, forward-looking collection about growth, resilience, and continuing to move ahead. The band will celebrate the album’s release with two Southern California hometown record release shows this weekend before heading to the East Coast and continuing on to Europe this summer.
