Andy Timmons and the Pawn Kings
The Pawn Kings were and are a blues phenomona in Dallas with Andy Timmons in the lead role. But the group's sound is a fusion of talent that added Michael Medina on bass, Tommy Young on organ and drummers Keith Carlock, Mitch Marine, and Sean McCurley to Andy's fireworks. Dan Wojciechowski is another great drummer who played with the Pawn Kings.
Everyone in this group had other projects, bands or events keeping them busy on weekends, but they found a way to make great live music together. The Pawn Kings played for their fans (and themselves) on Wednesday nights at Doug Henry's much-missed Blue Cat Blues club in Deep Ellum. The group played nearly 300 gigs there to SRO crowds from 1995 to late 2001. The sound is an eclectic mix of rock, old time R&B, gospel and Texas blues.
For all you blues lovers who couldn't be there to hear those amazing live performances, this CD and the recently released "Andy Timmons Pawn Kings Live" is the next best thing. All the fans who were blown away by the total sound of those four great players on those Wednesday nights already have their copies!
