Shakey Graves is the post-folk alter-ego of Austin, TX artist Alejandro Rose-Garcia. His southern, old-world sound is completed by frenzied finger-picking and a homemade portable suitcase drum kit. Between sensible balladic moments gnarly, unconstrained guitar tones wail and screech out his ragged guitar.
A master of storytelling, he focuses intently on the correct verbage to spin a tale. Drawing references from literature, folklore and his own life connects Shakey’s music to listeners across generations. A signature hat, wife-beater and proper boots is the uniform of choice for the incredible one man show: Shakey Graves on Audiotree Live.

I hope this band never breaks up.

Am I the only one who forgets that this exists and then gets really excited when it pops back into my brain and I can go listen on repeat for 3 days????

Shakey is a true artist. His improvisational expression of blue grass/rockabilly is so nuanced like that of the great jazz musicians from the 20's & 30's. I love how the melodies ramble, then ricochet, whisper & roar. He's in the zone with unapologetic abandon. And it's incredible!
-
This is the most onscreen chemistry I"ve ever seen
-
Seriously, how does a guy like this just casually exist in the world?
-
-
I am genuinely convinced that this should be remembered as one of the greatest performances of our time. This is a beautiful piece of art from moment one. He is a stunning artist and deserves to be far more know than he is. i hope for all of our sake and the sake of music at large he continues to grow and create for a long long time.

Love how he just casually whips out the most ridiculous version of Roll The Bones straight off the mark, it's music time let's do it 👌🤖🤙
-

Shakey graves is an exceptional artist. Really blessed to see such talent. Still one of my favorite live sessions to watch.

This is legit legendary. Like, seriously, 40 years from now I'll be showing this footage to my grandchildren explaining that this is what rock 'n roll used to be
-
Seriously have never heard anything like this, this guy is a breath of fresh air
-
12:30... That little giggle before he rips it. Priceless. ..And it's so incredible to just see him sit back, jam the fawk out and have the time of his life. im doomed for life. (because no joke. 5 minutes ago I had listened to his music on repeat every day for months having NO IDEA it was ONE dude.... playing a (vintage) suitcase with his feet, the meanest damn guitar with a spark in his eye and a little boy's smile.) 🤯 What a fawking legend this kid.
-
I'm trying to figure out how the world failed me by only now seeing this guy.
-
Can we please give a shout out to the camera crew, and editors of Audiotreelive. This video is one of my favorites from the channel, and very well done on a visual front. Good job guys.
