Brian Moen, Phil Cook and Justin Vernon played one show as THE SHOUTING MATCHES nearly seven years ago. They reunited in Eau Claire, Wisconsin this past year and made a record fusing influences into what they do best: playing together. Over years of sharing stages and studios in a myriad of projects, they come together as a trio and give you GROWNASS MAN, a record with Midwestern knuckles and Southern callouses. The album marks the first release from Middle West, the management firm behind all of Vernon's musical endeavors.

Blown away.If you have the opportunity to see Shovels & Rope live in concert, go. I caught the duo at the intimate Bluebird Theater in Denver on their 35th day on the road.  A straight month of playing across the country did not wear these two out; the energy on stage was incredible.  This was the best show I've seen in a long time, and I see a lot of music. Everything was right.
