Description:

Acclaimed Americana duo Shovels & Rope are returning to Montana in 2026 with performances at The ELM in Bozeman on Sunday, October 4, and the Top Hat in Missoula on Tuesday, October 6.

Husband-and-wife duo Shovels & Rope have spent more than a decade crafting a gritty, genre-blurring sound that mixes folk, rock, country, and punk influences. Trading harmonies and instruments throughout their sets, Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst deliver live shows that feel both deeply personal and high-energy.
The duo first broke through with their acclaimed album O’ Be Joyful, earning praise for songs that balance heartache, humor, and Southern grit. Since then, they’ve continued to evolve through a steady run of celebrated releases and relentless touring, building a loyal fanbase along the way.

Fans can expect a set filled with favorites like “Birmingham” and “I Know,” alongside newer material that showcases the duo’s ever-evolving sound and songwriting.

Montana audiences know firsthand just how special their live shows can be, with Shovels & Rope delivering fantastic sold out performances across the state over the years.
