Shovelman - Friday Sept. 23rd - Two Sets

UNITY STAGE
Friday September 23rd
10.15-11.00pm
12.30-1.15am

Shovelman is a junkyard beatnik, a shovel guitar wielding surrealist folk superhero. Armed with a collection of pawnshop effects pedals and an old barn-shovel turned slide-guitar, Shovelman plays ol’ fashioned folktronica-grooves looped straight out of the ground. The sounds of Mississippi delta blues from the electro-psychedelic future, collide with the antiquated rubble of lyrical one-man-band hoboetry.

"Shovelman's music would be playing on the radio if Tom Waits and Les Claypool ever went on a road trip together...... and were lost." – Chip 'So Wat TV’ Santa Cruz
