Shovels and Rope  Carolina Rose put on one excellent show Friday night at the Soul Kitchen in Mobile, AL.  The evening started off with Carolina Rose, and then moved straight into Cary Ann Hurst and Michael Trent doing what they do best.  Both outright music professionals, the team duo of Shovels and Rope, just as a married couple they merge seamlessly on the stage.  The crowd was able to really connect with the band on many emotional levels.  Never a dull moment in the show the fans were left craving more.  We thank Brad and Maggie at the Soul Kitchen for their efforts to bring us quality music into the port city of Mobile!
