Shakey Graves
Shakey Graves is quickly rising from his Austin, TX roots into the national spotlight as word of his haunting lo-fi recordings and contrastingly explosive live shows continues to spread. Described by the New York Times as making the “one-man band approach look effortless,” Shakey stomps out rhythms on a handmade kickdrum built from an old suitcase, laying the foundation for “precise fingerpicking and raw, whiskey-soaked vocals” (Consequence of Sound). His debut full-length LP “Roll the Bones” consistently remains near the top of Bandcamp’s digital “best-seller” charts more than two years after its release. After a breakout year Shakey Graves continues to have many exciting endeavors including nationwide tour dates, festival bookings and the finishing touches on his sophomore studio album, with a release date TBA.
