The Lumineers, Shovels & Rope play ACL

Friday, October 18, 2013 – The Lumineers and Shovels & Rope make their Austin City Limits debuts on Oct. 19.

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.

CD review - Manticore Shovels & Rope, the husband/wife duo group of Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst, gives us a pained collection of songs with "Manticore." The title was inspired by the Strength Tarot card, which represents mastering raw emotions in order to bring calm to yourself or a situation. And because this album was recorded during a pandemic – where we all needed to try our best to master raw emotions – it's more than a fitting album name. With that said, though, Shovels & ...
CD review - Little Seeds Shovels & Rope have made quite an imprint in wider circles since receiving honors as best new band from the Americana Music Association for their formal debut "O' Be Joyful" in 2013. Not content to rest on those kudos, the duo - multi-instrumentalists Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent, who are husband and wife - showed their determination to move forward beyond the rustic regimen they established early on. Two more albums - "Swimmn' Time" and a covers collection, ...
CD review - Busted Jukebox Vol. 1 Leave it to Americana duo Shovels and Rope to release one of the better albums of the second half of 2015! And all with the help of some classic tunes and a bevy of friends to help them out. It ends up being an extremely fun, breezy romp through songs that shouldn't sound as perky as they do. Yet after the initial moments of Neil Young's "Unknown Legend" with Shakey Graves assisting them, the listener gets the sense they've fallen into something well worth repeated listens. ...
