Paul Givant of Rose’s Pawn Shop Shares Stories and Advice With Americana Highways
Americana Highways recently spoke to Paul Givant of Rose’s Pawn Shop about his life as a touring musician, learning about his taste in coffee, the band’s craziest (and in one instance, deeply sad) tour lodging experience, and what CD he’d choose to have stuck in his tour van for the duration of a roadtrip. Givant also has advice for those mired in the muck of the music industry: “If you love music, if you’re called to do it, no matter the ups and downs and difficulties of the pursuit, just stick with it. Don’t give up. You’re gonna take some hits and get knocked down, but if the calling is in you, just keep going. Tenacity and hard work lead to success.” Read the full interview here.
