The Lumineers, Shovels & Rope play ACL
Denver's Lumineers perform their breakthrough hits including Ho Hey and Stubborn Love while Charleston, S.C.'s Shovels & Rope perform songs from its debut "O' Be Joyful."
Leading off the hour is The Lumineers, the rootsy folk-rock trio of Ho Hey fame.
"There's more to The Lumineers than just the song that seemed to have the whole world singing along to this year," said ACL executive producer Terry Lickona. "There aren't many bands that can engage an audience the way they do and watching their ACL performance is the next best thing to being there."
The second half of the episode introduces Shovels & Rope, the husband and wife roots duo of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst. The pair channel country, bluegrass and blues to create folk music. The duo won big at September's Americana Music Awards, taking home top honors for Emerging Artist of the Year and Song of the Year.
"It doesn't get more basic than Shovels & Rope," said Lickona, "but they rock out more than a stage full of musicians, and there's something refreshingly authentic about their live performance that just makes you feel good."
The Lumineers will play Submarines, Ho Hey, Classy Girls, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Charlie Boy and Stubborn Love.
Shovels & Rope will play Tell the Truth, Shank Hill Street, Boxcar, Gasoline, Hollowpoint Blues and Hail Hail.
