Pawn Shop Radio
Pawn Shop Radio is the first album by the band VickiKristinaBarcelona, a power trio of seasoned music veterans dedicated to re-imagining the songs of Tom Waits via inventive three-part harmonies and a treasure trove of instruments, including banjos, bottles, and squeezebox.
The group members are Rachelle Garniez, Amanda Homi, and Terry Radigan, accomplished singers and songwriters, each a hybrid story-teller and multi-instrumentalist in her own right. Picture the Triplets of Belleville disguised as Depression Era hobos riding the rails across America stopping to play dance parties and funerals along the road to nowhere.
With three distinct styles forming a captivating original mix, greater than the sum of its parts, VickiKristinaBarcelona creates a world of sound at once powerful, playful and poignant, saluting the tragicomic lyrical genius of the Waits songbook. Collectively, they have worked with artists including Jack White, Jackson Browne, Jane Siberry, Patty Loveless, Dan Penn, Ray La Montaigne, Thomas Dolby, and Taylor Mac.
