Known best for her work with Andy Hill and their band Hard Rain, Safier has played her guitar and sung her heart out to devoted folk-rock fans for decades.
Bob Malone is known for his high-energy piano-playing hybrid of rock, pop, and blues. He’s has toured with John Fogerty since 2011, done session work with Ringo Starr and Avril Lavigne and has amassed his own a loyal fan-base through 25 years of touring and nine critically acclaimed albums. The New Yorker called Bob, a “keyboard wizard” and in 2018, his recording of “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” was featured in the trailer for the Illumination/Universal film, The Grinch.

SOLD OUT Rose's Pawn Shop Opener: Winter Grain

Grammy-nominated modern alt-rockers return to the Annex to offer up some of the best heartfelt and authentic lyric-driven roots rock since The Band emerged from Bob Dylan’s basement. A little like Mumford & Sons or Old Crow Medicine Show, the band’s sound is anchored by the sharp songwriting of frontman Paul Givant and shot through with electric guitar, fiddle, raw percussive stomp, and stacked vocal harmonies.

Glide Magazine praised Rose’s Pawn Shop’s recent release “Punch-Drunk Life” saying the band, “has harnessed the crucial elements of their sound – deft picking, smooth harmonies, and terrific songwriting… one of the more joyous recordings in recent memory.” To support the new release, Rose’s Pawn Shop returned to the Grand Annex earlier this year to film a handful of official videos. A good time was had by all!
Opener: Winter Grain
Married duo who harmonize with clarity, design guitar riffs with intention, and do their best to honor the tradition set by the likes of the Indigo Girls and John Mayer.
