About

Husband and wife duo Shovels & Rope possess an undeniable chemistry that they bring to the stage with them every time they perform. Their stylish brand of alt-country incorporates elements of rock, folk, and even punk, and their eclectic live shows bring it all to life as they belt out songs like "Birmingham" and "The Devil Is All Around" in perfect harmony. Equal parts anthemic and heart-rending,  Shovel & Rope's passionate performances never fail to get ticket buyers grooving on the duo's must-see tours.
 
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Shovels & Rope is Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent, two South Carolina-based musicians who began collaborating in 2008 on what was intended to be a one-off album titled Shovels & Rope. The duo quickly realized they had both musical and personal chemistry, and in 2009 they were married.  They made their sophomore outing as Shovels & Rope in 2012 with O' Be Joyful, an impressive slice of country folk that topped Billboard's Heatseekers Albums Chart and earned them the title of Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2013 Americana Music Honors & Awards.  Shovels & Rope continued to delight in 2014 with their third album Swimmin' Time, following up the release with a series of rousing performances on the road.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"One of the best shows I have seen in years! If you haven't seen them yet you are missing out!"

    Intimate is better

    by Joaquim on 10/3/23The Riviera Theater - Charleston

    This was the first time I've seen S&R live. They played some of their known tunes and a lot of new tunes. Surprisingly, I found the amount of unknown material enjoyable. Usually you want to hear what you know. Their vocals were spot on with some the harmonizing was just so good it could break hearts. Trent had some real highs on the guitar also. The chatter between tunes was priceless, with a lot of good laughs. Great stage presence.

    Amazing performance in a beautiful venue

    by Reebs on 10/3/23The Riviera Theater - Charleston

    Shovels and Rope did not disappoint! In addition to a wonderful performance, The Riviera is a beautiful venue with great concessions, amenities, and friendly as well as helpful staff. The oblynthing I could be picky about was that the floor seating was a bit cramped and the chairs could have been a bit more comfortable.

    SO good live

    by HannahG on 11/1/22Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    I’ve been a fan of this band for a few years but never have seen them live before this show. They actually blew me away. They had so much intensity on stage, but in the absolute best way. Super talented and you can tell they’re passionate about what they do. We had a blast. I’m definitely going to see them again!

    Phenomenal

    by Bean on 10/29/22Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    First saw S&R at a festival in Louisville KY. Really enjoy seeing them each time. Phenomenal sound from just two married folks with kids. Always a good time

    Incredible!

    by Joseph on 10/29/22Neptune Theatre - Seattle

    I'm a big fan of Shovel & Rope's music, but I was still blown away by how great this show was. (Well, the opener wasn't very good, but when S&R came in, it more than made up for it.) The band played an excellent set list featuring content from their new album and some old favorites. Watching the band live, you get a sense for how incredibly talented and versatile Cary Ann and Michael are. They are very down-to-earth folks and the Neptune Theatre was a perfectly intimate venue for this show. Can't wait until they come back!
