One of Mom and Dad's favorite local duos is Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent aka Shovels & Rope. Cary Ann and Michael are super talented - they write and perform all their own music. You might have even heard of them - some of their songs are getting played on the radio and and she even had one song called "He**'s Bells" played at the closing credits of True Blood on HBO. That's why she can say "He**'s Bells" - cause it's on HBO. BOL Here's a link to the video she and Michael made of the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqoSGphTA3Q. Warning! It's kinda weird, in a good way. Lots more clips of live performances on that link with her name. Check 'em out.
Oh, yeah, and, most impawtant, they have a cool dog named Townes - after, you know, Townes Van Zandt. He gets to travel on the road with them, too. How great is that??? Check out this link to see some pics of the awesome Townes. So - they're dog lovers and play cool music. That's why we're giving 'em some space here.
And now we're gonna give a BARK OUT to the fabulous Charleston Pour House for offering up awesome local music every week AND for having the best outdoor deck in town that allows DOGS! We love ya! The Pour House is where all the cool musicians play at one time or another, either inside or on the deck. Cary Ann and Michael have played TONS of sets at the Pour House, sometimes accompanied by Townes when they play on the deck. It's kinda their second home when they're not on the road. BUT, we have a feeling there's good things in store for this duo and we're just glad we were able to catch their act in person before they go off and get too famous for Chucktown.
