Hear an FUV Live session with Shovels & Rope tonight at 9.

This Charleston-based duo consists of married songwriters Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst. The couple's recently released sophomore album, Swimmin' Time, is a unique blend of roots-rock, acoustic flavoring and a sharp, indie-rock edge. The record also showcases the strength of the duo’s musical relationship, with Trent and Hearst both sharing lead vocals and playing a variety of instruments. Shovels and Rope recently stopped by Studio A to play us some of their new songs and we'll hear that performance and my conversation with the duo during this episode of FUV Live.
