Shovels & Rope set fall tour, new album

Shovels & Rope - Cary Ann Hearst, Michael Trent - has announced the release of their new album Little Seeds, due Oct. 7 via New West Records, along with a fall tour (see list of dates below).

Like most of the Americana husband and wife duo's previous material, Little Seeds was recorded in their Charleston, SC home studio, and produced by Trent. The pair wrote all the songs and played every instrument. Little Seeds is the follow up to their acclaimed 2014 release Swimmin’ Time, which debuted in the top 20 on the Billboard 200, #5 on the rock chart and #6 on the independent chart.

The duo has appeared on Conan, Austin City Limits, PBS Bluegrass Underground and twice on The Late Show with David Letterman. Shovels & Rope has performed at almost every major U.S. festival, including Bonnaroo, Coachella, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, Sasquatch, Hangout and more.
