Shovels & Rope

Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/shovels-and-ropeSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeTeamwork makes the dream work for the Charleston, South Carolina, twosome, who trade off multi-instrumental duties throughout their sets.Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst have been making music as Shovels & Rope since 2008. The husband-and-wife duo from South Carolina specialize in rootsy, bluesy rock, Americana, and alt-country, but they don’t confine themselves to traditional two-piece arrangements. They switch off on vocal, guitar, percussion, and synth duty throughout their shows, orchestrating a full-band ruckus with all available limbs.Their seventh full-length, Something Is Working Up Above My Head, released in September last year, and while touring in support of it, they stopped at Nashville’s Brooklyn Bowl in late February. PG’s John Bohlinger caught up with Trent before the gig to see what tools he and Hearst use to maintain their musical juggling act.Shop Shovel & Rope's Gear:Gretsch Black Falcon - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/YRnPxOGibson J-45 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PyY7WXFender Blues Junior - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/7aOq73Universal Audio OX Amp Top Box - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/rQzyVBDunlop Max-Grip Picks - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/LKmBqaMXR Blue Box - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/qzx93nElectro-Harmonix Nano Big Muff - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jrPr2nEarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xL5a3kBoss OC-5 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/vNOonLWalrus Canvas Tuners - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/6eDxb3Walrus Canvas Passive Re-Amp - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/9LzDPeRadial J48 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/raDr3GMesa/Boogie Stowaway Compact Input Buffer - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/jey03nKorg microKORG Synthesizer - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/kOME3MElectro-Harmonix Bass9 Bass Machine Pedal - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/e1EXMgElectro-Harmonix Holy Grail Nano Reverb Pedal - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/q4k2MnRadial ProDI - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/GmW3x6Electro-Harmonix Mel9 Tape Replay Machine Pedal - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/6eK2WKTruetone 1 SPOT Pro - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/aOAVmjRadial ProD2 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/PyqVbN Full Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/shovels-and-ropeSubscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPGDon't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar0:00 - Molly Tuttle & D'Addario0:15 - Shovels & Rope Playing Intro0:43 - John Bohlinger Intro0:54 - Gretsch G6636T Players Edition Falcon Double-Cut Bigsby2:21 - Developing the Duo's Massive Live Sound4:50 - Gibson J-456:27 - Loar & Recording King Guitars7:04 - Shovels & Rope Pedalboard10:52 - Rig Rundown & D'Addario11:25 - Electro-Harmonix Nano Big Muff12:46 - Thing 1 & Thing 2 microKORGs & Roland PK5 Controller17:39 - Shovels & Rope's Amps: Fender Blues Junior & Fender Rumble20:05 - Shovels & Rope's Strings, Tunings & Picks23:22 - Recording 2024's Something Is Working Up Above My Head26:40 - D'Addario[Brought to you by D’Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr]© Copyright Gearhead Communications LLC, 2025#guitar #rigrundown #guitarist #guitarplayer #guitargear
