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:

"Shovels and Rope was amazing. Their love and connection informs their amazing chemistry on stage. Highly recommend seeing them live!"

"Cary Ann and Michael are fantastic! With only two people, they have an undeniably full sound. Their chemistry on stage makes for a tight, highly energetic live show that pushes the rock-country envelope."

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

  • Fantastic Venue

    by MBush on 10/2/23The Riviera Theater - CharlestonRating: 5 out of 5

    Shovel & Rope put on a very nice show and the highlight was the Rivera Theater! Loved the Venue.

  • SO good live

    by HannahG on 11/1/22Neptune Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    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 - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    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 - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    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!

  • Best live show of my life!

    by JaimeLee on 10/29/22Neptune Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    Shovels & Rope played for over 2 hours, the most talented 2 piece you will ever see! Nobody is more Rock n Roll than Shovels & Rope, Nobody.

  • High Energy Harmonies and Fun

    by Steelhead on 10/29/22Neptune Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show. A wonderful mix of early and current songs by a talented duo. Great voices & harmony along with a load of musical talent underpinned a high energy non-stop performance. Highly recommend!

  • Always an incredible show ♥️

    by Skappy on 10/29/22Neptune Theatre - SeattleRating: 5 out of 5

    One of our favorite bands of all time! Me, the husband and our two kids (11 & 9) love Shovels & Rope and try to see them each time they’re in the upper left. The venue was cool as well. Super thankful we got be there!

  • Shovels & Rope Never Disappoints

    by Chippy on 4/20/22Greenfield Lake Amphitheater - WilmingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    S&R is one of my favorite bands but I did miss hearing a lot of my favorite songs as they mostly played tracks from their new album. Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is a local gem and it was a beautiful night to be outside enjoying music.

  • Fun show.

    by Allys on 4/19/22Greenfield Lake Amphitheater - WilmingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    First time seeing them. We had a great time. People were angry at us others for singing, etc. That bothered us a little bit.

  • Great Show

    by Sue on 11/24/21Old Forester's Paristown Hall - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    The venue was great and the show was really great!!

  • Fantastic Show!

    by Thurmans on 11/23/21Old Forester's Paristown Hall - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    We had a great date night, getting to see our favorite band, and the venue was perfect for this size show. The only complaint was the beer selection, but there was ample service which kept the lines short. We’ll definitely go back there for future shows.

  • Wonderful Experience

    by Kaylin on 11/23/21Old Forester's Paristown Hall - LouisvilleRating: 5 out of 5

    My husband and I opted for the premium balcony tickets and were so thrilled with that choice! Great show, unique venue, affordable upgrades that made a world of difference! Obviously the performers were as amazing as we have come to expect, truly nothing like seeing them live.

  • Pretty good

    by SL on 11/23/21Old Forester's Paristown Hall - LouisvilleRating: 3 out of 5

    It is always good to hear live music and this is a talented duo although their songs basically all sound the same. There is not a bad seat at this venue, which is great, but it was so breezy and FREEZING cold (inside) that it made the performance less enjoyable.

  • Love this band!

    by Cowgirl on 11/22/21Ludlow Garage Cincinnati - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    Great show by fabulous musicians whose love for each other and musical talent crosses all genres and a variety of instruments!

  • Wowzers

    by Betty on 11/22/21Ludlow Garage Cincinnati - CincinnatiRating: 5 out of 5

    Absolutely phenomenal show. The music was awesome. The venue was awesome. I love Shovels and Rope. Great artist, each time I’ve seen them has been unique. I really wish we could get them to come to Lexington, Ky and play Manchester Music Hall….

  • Great Music and Charming Banter

    by EmilyE on 11/5/21Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5

    The musical prowess of Shovels and Rope is obvious, only made better by their delightful banter between songs. The only thing I would change would be to sit closer next time!

  • AMAZING!

    by Lollykins on 10/5/21Fawcett Hall at Alma Mater - TacomaRating: 5 out of 5

    Brought me closer to my hero-worship of this duo. They are SO good. ❤️❤️

  • Alma Mater - Tacoma, WA

    Great venue to have food and drinks, see the band perform!

  • Incredible place to see a show! Very intimate. We'll be back

    by DaneHalford on 10/4/21Fawcett Hall at Alma Mater - TacomaRating: 5 out of 5

    Shovels and Rope were awesome! They're meant to sing together! Great show. Great sound!

  • Good!

    by C. I. on 8/6/21Rating: 5 out of 5

    Saw them open for Greta Van Fleet and they killed it! Everyone was having a good time and it felt very 60s and chill. I loved every moment of it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
