Saw them open for Jack White and knew we had to see them again. This show was amazing. They are so talented and even if you think their music isn't (your style) seeing them live will instantly turn you into a fan.

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.

by marge0724 on 2/3/13The Sinclair - CambridgeLove this duo from the South. If you like funky bluegrass, folk, with some rock n roll mixed in with all that, and amazing acoustic guitar, drum, and harmonica playing...you need to see this duo! Their chemistry, passion for music and performing is so evident and they are so full of energy! Special, one of a kind couple!!! The Sinclair in Harvard Square just opened December and its a great venue. Food and drink next door, then walk right over to the other side to see live music! Loved it!

by Carkus on 2/3/13The Sinclair - CambridgeThe band is fantastic, they put on a great show! The sound at the Sinclair, unfortunately, was not good. And the people working the sound board did ABSOLUTELY nothing to fix it. The electric guitar was constantly feeding back, and I as I was standing next to the sound board, I had the opportunity to observe the soundman in "inaction." He did nothing to attempt to fix the problem, and the feedback really detracted from the show.
Rating: 4 out of 5by Anonymous on 2/3/13The Sinclair - Cambridge Awesome venue. Awesome band. My only complaint it that on one of the coldest days of the year, the coat check should have been open. Otherwise, had a great time!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Unbelievable energy!
