Shakey Graves Band

Shakey Graves (born Alejandro Rose-Garcia on June 4, 1987) is an Americana musician from Austin, Texas, United States.[1]

His music is a cross between blues, folk and rock and roll – he performs at many large festivals and concert venues around the United States. Alejandro Rose-Garcia received his iconic stage name at Old Settler's Music Festival in 2007 after he and his friends jokingly gave each other Indian guide names over a campfire. After an inspired night of playing music, he decided to keep the name.[2]

 

I caught him Saturday night with City and Colour and he was incredible, so good.

 

Family and Genus is being featured in the new Samsung VR commercials.

Hope he starts gaining some traction, he's incredible.

 

Saw him open for C&C in the summer. I enjoyed him but nothing really blew my mind. Seeing that he has some tracking on the forums may lead me to check him out again.

 

His entire catalog is available at a pay-what-you-want-price 2/9-2/11:

Happy Shakey Graves Day!

 

Shakey Graves Releases Two New Tracks, "Counting Sheep" and "Kids These Days"

The new songs are great. Maybe my most anticipated album of the year.

Also, I just learned that he was The Swede in Friday Night Lights which is INSANE

 

Yeah, these songs are really cool. I’m excited for the new album

 

"Mansion Door":

This album is gonna be really cool

 

Love all three singles so far

 

Today is the day

First Listen: Shakey Graves, 'Can't Wake Up'

 

Hell yeah

 

Nothing really stood out after 2 listens.

 

Feeling personally targeted by Dining Alone

 

Dug this a lot. Definitely a couple songs that could stand to lose a minute or two though.

 

Album's a bit weirder than I expected but I think I like it. Seems like a definite grower. "Cops and Robbers" was my fave non-single on first listen.

 

New album is lovely! I've never listened to Shakey Graves before. I hear a ton of influences/other artists, and I think he hones it better than many indie artists do. This is definitely my type of thing

 

Someone just told me that this was the Swede and I got unreasonably excited.

 

Glad you enjoyed it! Thought you would!

Standout tracks?

 

Dining Alone is such a good song

 

Shakey Graves Takes On Roger Miller's 'A World So Full of Love': Premiere

 

This new album is up there for biggest disappointment of the year for me

 

Agreed. All the songs are 6 minutes long and go nowhere. Lowlife is the only one that did anything at all for me. Really disappointing because I still love Can’t Wake Up.

 

that was the one exception for me/the one I put on my 2023 playlist too!
