Shovels and Rope

Husband-and-wife duo Shovels & Rope have spent more than a decade crafting a gritty, genre-blurring sound that mixes folk, rock, country, and punk influences. Trading harmonies and instruments throughout their sets, Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst deliver live shows that feel both deeply personal and high-energy.
The duo first broke through with their acclaimed album O’ Be Joyful, earning praise for songs that balance heartache, humor, and Southern grit. Since then, they’ve continued to evolve through a steady run of celebrated releases and relentless touring, building a loyal fanbase along the way.
Fans can expect a set filled with favorites like “Birmingham” and “I Know,” alongside newer material that showcases the duo’s ever-evolving sound and songwriting.
