Shovels & Rope

Name: Shovels & Rope
Hometown: Charleston, South Carolina

Sounds Like: A sweet blend of rock and country with twangy melodies that will get your feet moving.
The duo, consisting of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, perform with a medley of instruments including a snare, harmonica, guitars and tambourines. A tear in Cary Ann’s voice will take you back to the days of Tammy Wynette, as she sings heart-piercing lyrics laced with a gritty Southern sound.
