Bio: 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.
