Cary Ann Hearst (born August 10, 1979) is an American folk/roots rock musical artist from South Carolina. She performs as a solo act, as well as with her husband, Michael Trent, in the band Shovels & Rope. Hearst spent her formative adult years going “coastal” in Charleston, SC. She started The Boonies, who played pirate music in coffee shops, then the Borrowed Angels who played honky tonk in bars. She was the only girl in Cary Ann Hearst and The Gunstreet Girls. She and Michael Trent started Shovels and Rope in 2008 and now tour as a harmony-driven duo that features an orphan drum-set rescued from the garbage. Creating Shrimp Records in 2009, Hearst and Trent could make and market their music on their own. They have toured with Amos Lee, Butch Walker, Ponderosa, and play hundreds of shows all over the south east, into the north east and even occasionally California, France, and Chicago, Illinois. Hearst put out "Dust and Bones" in 2007, then the Gothic country folk tales on "Shovels and Rope" were released in 2008. Awaiting the arrival of her forthcoming full length record "Lions and Lambs", Hearst promoted her EP "Are You Ready to Die", issued by Filter US Recordings and Shrimp Records. Subsequent albums (including Swimming Time, Little Seeds, and By Blood) have been as Shovels and Rope.
