Win A Shovels & Rope / Shakey Graves Prize PAck
Rollin’ out with a rawkus racket, SHOVELS & ROPE and SHAKEY GRAVES – arguably the two hottest names in Americana music – are pleased to be bringing their rollicking, foot stomping live performances to Australia for the very first time this March.
Shovels & Rope, the acclaimed award-winning husband and wife duo of Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent, bring their effortlessly interconnected folk/rock direct from Charleston, South Carolina to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Co-headlining on all dates will be the wild and mesmerizing SHAKEY GRAVES, the Americana, anti-folk poster boy, Alejandro Rose-Garcia.
Opening shows around the country (*except Caravan Music Club, Oakleigh) will be RUBY BOOTS, aka Australia’s flame-haired, truth-soaked alt-country troubadour Bex Chilcott.
Shovles & Rope and Shakey Graves ‘Two for the Road’ tickets are on sale now!
Releasing their debut breakthrough album ‘O’Be Joyful’ in 2012, the success of this first album saw Shovels & Rope go on to win Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2013 Americana Music Awards, and tour nearly non-stop with their signature mix of rock, country, punk and folk to sold-out crowds replacing tiny, sweat-soaked dives with larger halls, then major festival audiences at Newport Folk Festival, Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza.
Last August saw the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Swimmin’ Time’ through Spunk Records here in Australia. The album went on to reach #1 on the Billboard Folk Chart, hold the #2 position at Americana Radio for more than a month, debut at #20 on the Billboard Top 200 and garner critical acclaim around the world.
Accompanying Shovels & Rope on tour will be Shakey Graves – stage name of Alejandro Rose-Garcia who began making music as part of New York City’s “anti-folk” scene. Relying on visceral song-writing and organic sound, he began producing haunting, lo-fi recordings and developing an explosive live performance.
Touring Australia in support of his new album, ‘And the War Came’ (due for release here on February 27th through Dualtone / Cooking Vinyl Australia), Shakey Graves extends the ground – emotionally and sonically – broken by his self-released 2011 debut album, ‘Roll the Bones’.
To celebrate the tour, Tone Deaf have a Shakey Graves/ Shovels & Rope prize pack to give away which includes:
– 1 double pass to the show of your choice
– a copy of Shovels & Rope ‘Swimmin’ Time’ album
– a copy of Shakey Graves ‘And the War Came’ album
