Shovels and Rope are returning to Salt Lake for a special "Something Is Working Up Above My Head Tour" supporing their newest album at The Commonwealth Room.

New Depression says of the new release, in "Something Is Working Up Above My Head, the Charleston, SC-based duo Shovels & Rope continue to display their affinity for rock-leaning Americana. The album follows 2022’s Manticore, which was steeped in the agitation and uncertainty of the Covid era. This time, Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent draw from the more boisterous vibe of earlier work, particularly 2012’s O’ Be Joyful and 2014’s Swimmin’ Time.

“Something Is Working” highlights Hearst and Trent’s infectious chemistry as they tap into a blend of radio-friendly hooks, gospel-slanted timbres, and roadhouse sonics. “I’d Be Lying”, meanwhile, slows things down. Hearst’s voice is prominent, Trent’s background vocal adds significant texture."

KRCL is proud to present the show at The Commonwealth Room on Thurs, December 12.
Tickets availalble here.
