Shovelman: Moonshine

Isaac Frankle plays a slide guitar made out of a shovel. 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 has become infamous on the west coast festival circuit (Lightning in a Bottle, Health and Harmony, Earthdance and The Oregon Country Fair) opening for bands that include Primus, Beats Antique and the Yard Dogs Road Show. "Shovelman has forged a perfect merger of the past and the present with his bluesy 'folktronic' sound." - LA Weekly "Like" Shovelman on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Shovelman/150549041176 Download the album "The Dirty West" at: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-dirty-west/id338786756 or http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/SHOVELMAN
