Shovels & Rope, the husband-and-wife duo from Charleston, South Carolina, recently performed at a Tiny Desk concert, captivating the audience with their mix of rowdy folk-rock and rootsy balladeering. Despite the initial distraction caused by a canine visitor, Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent quickly won back the crowd's attention with performances of "Carnival," "Birmingham," and "Bad Luck." Known for their blend of traditional folk, rock and roll, and country rock, Shovels & Rope have released six albums, with their latest, "Manticore," dropping in February 2022 on Dualtone Records. The duo's delightful harmony and instrument-swapping moments highlighted their engaging and energetic performance at the Tiny Desk concert.
