Shovels & Rope + Matthew Logan Vasquez

South Carolina duo (and married couple) Shovels & Rope make minimalistic folk music with explosive energy and taut harmonies that more than make up for what it lacks in numbers. The pair comes to town to celebrate the release of its latest album, Little Seeds, which tackles big topics (think racial unity and the effects of Alzheimer's disease) with rootsy arrangements and plenty of instrumental multitasking. Delta Spirit frontman Matthew Logan Vasquez opens the show.
