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

@racfarm21 Do you have a guitar made from a shovel? I think that might be one of the factors. I know the guy that made the guitar shovel. He can make a guitar out of just about anything!
