Here at RAW RAMP island we love the American folk duo SHOVELS & ROPE from Charleston, South Carolina who comprise of husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst.

Their sounds are supernatural — even slightly delusional — yet highly evocative and addictive as a bunch of opioids.
We recently described their sound as, “Pure American darkness with a slimed-up country twist…”
And with “Little Seeds” out, now’s the time to see them…
