Shovels & Rope played a sold out show to an enthusiastic crowd at the Ogden Theater last weekend. Just two years ago I saw them play at Gary Lee’s on South Broadway to a packed bar crowd. Weather in a small bar or large venue, Cary Ann and Michael Trent bring a high energy show full of great songs as they swap duties on various instruments, vocal duties and arrangements while belting away one after another. They make a huge sound with a two piece drum set, a few guitars and a synth and are a great addition to the Americana scene that caters to a very wide audience.
Former member of Old Crow Medicine Show, Willie Watson, opened the show with a great folksy gospel tinged set, singalongs and all.
