PAWNSHOP REUNION is an eclectic, progressive, and forcefully creative rock group that commits to entertain with every last lyric.

The musicians that make up Pawnshop Reunion met at a local pub's open mic night in 2005. Katie (Carrico) McAllister was working there for about a year before the band united, she served drinks and chit-chatted with the clientèle.

Matt Wilken would come every week and play his songs, drink some beers and bullshit with friends. He had an idea for a project which entailed one gig at a festival called “Little Woodstock" with whom he already had a line up of musicians in mind.

"Bongo" Jimmy Leyes would play drums and percussion, Mark Barclay would play guitar and sing, Katie would sing lead vocals and play rhythm guitar. Who would play bass?

Well, there was a hot bass player, which also visited this open mic in spurts, named Vassar Davis. Katie and Vassar had, at times, been accused of "lyrically making out," in reference to the fact that they would constantly be serenading each other in harmony. The suggestion was made. Vassar had a band already but it was worth the try. When they found out he was in, practice started.

Two times a week the band practiced for the gig, which would be their only one. That was the plan, anyway. After the "Little Woodstock" gig, the remaining members were Katie, Matt and Vassar. Katie's uncle, Tom Carrico, offered to play drums with them until a permanent drummer was found. A few weeks later, Matt caught wind of a fantastic drummer who was available.

Scott E. Bones was his name. He and Matt had been friends for a long while and Matt invited him to check out a show because they were looking for a permanent drummer. After viewing Pawnshop at a local bar gig in South Bend, Scott expressed interest in auditioning. The chemistry flew the night he auditioned.

October 19, 2006, was the date that the band was finally complete. They have since went on to write numerous songs and perform music written by bands they all enjoy, but in a style all their own. The members of Pawnshop Reunion mesh so well together musically, but their style and preference in music varies in so many ways.
