I stopped in Tulsa on the way home to catch the wonderful husband-wife duo Shovels and Rope, pairing Cary Ann Hearst with Michael Trent of The Films.  In addition to their combined effort, both musicians have recently released new solo records–Michael with The Winner, Cary Ann with Lions and Lambs (available at shows) and the Are You Ready to Die EP.

The pair has plenty lined up this spring, including an obligatory Texas Invasion.  Catch them on your way to SXSW!
