Foothill String Band Bluegrass Band from Los Angeles, CA

Foothill String Band is a Bluegrass, Old Timey, acoustic Americana-Folk band that hails from the Los Angeles foothills of the San Gabriel mountains with the ability to make old-timey songs new AND new songs old-timey. Consisting of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar, upright bass, and tight harmony singing, Foothill String Band brings a high-energy, crowd pleasing sound to performances at festivals, events, and parties throughout Southern California and beyond. Foothill String Band evolved as a side project of the renowned professional national touring Americana folk-rock band Rose’s Pawn Shop and is led by their same frontman singer-songwriter Paul Givant. Foothill String Band has become another musical outlet for members of Rose’s Pawn Shop and their SoCal professional musician companions to lean into playing the more straight ahead Bluegrass and Old-Timey music styles they grew up on and love. (Apologies to Rose’s Pawn Shop’s drummer, but he’ll have to sit these gigs out). Foothill String Band repertoire consists of Bluegrass and Country classics(Johnny Cash, Hank Williams) as well as recognizable songs from the last several decades done in a Bluegrass and Old-Timey String Band style from artists such as Tom Petty, America, Bruce Springsteen, and Tyler Childers. The band has the sonic flexibility to play completely acoustic or can run their own PA system for more volume based on the needs of your event. Most commonly performing as a quartet, the band also has flexibility to perform as a trio, duo, or even expand to a quintet based on performance and budgets needs, and has material to play up to 4 hours(with 15 min set breaks). Perfect for Seasonal and Holiday themed events, as well as events of all kinds, Foothill String Band looks forward to hearing from you and how we can be of service.
