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

His music combines blues, folk, country, and rock and roll. Rose-Garcia received his stage name at Old Settler's Music Festival in 2007 after a stranger, apparently high on LSD, rambled 'spooky wagons'. Then he and his friends jokingly gave each other Native American guide names over a campfire. After an inspired night of playing music, he decided to keep the name.^[2]

History[edit]

Before being known as Shakey Graves, Rose-Garcia had acting roles in Friday Night Lights and the Spy Kids franchise.^[3]

Shakey Graves became known for his one-man band set up and most of his 2011 self-released debut album Roll the Bones features him playing solo.^[4] This set up originated after he grew tired of having to borrow kick drums and high hats in order to perform. His solution consisted of a modified suitcase that functions as both a kick drum and a tambourine stand built by a close friend.

His unique style of performance led to him being asked to be the official “busker” for the Edward Sharpe and Mumford & SonsRailroad Revival Tour in 2011, where he played music for patrons entering each venue.

His follow-up EP The Donor Blues was released in 2012, and features a collection of recordings from 2009.^[5]

After being courted by multiple labels, Shakey Graves signed with Dualtone Records.^[6] When he began working on the album, he added other musicians to his recording process and live set, including multi-instrumentalists Patrick O'Connor, Jon Shaw, and Chris Boosahda, who produced the album. Three songs are duets with ex-Paper Bird member Esmé Patterson. The album, titled And the War Came, was released on October 7, 2014.

Shakey Graves then began touring as a three-piece band. The band made their television debut on October 14, 2014 on Conan,^[7] and then appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, performing 'Dearly Departed' with Patterson.^[8] The band performed their next single, 'The Perfect Parts,' on Late Night with Seth Meyers.^[4] On May 6, 2015 the band performed on Austin City Limits.^[9]

In September 2015, Shakey Graves won the Best Emerging Artist award at the 2015 Americana Music Awards.^[10]

On February 9, 2012, Lee Leffingwell, the Mayor of Austin, proclaimed a 'Shakey Graves Day.'^[11] Every year on February 9 through the 11th, Shakey Graves offers all of his music, including unreleased albums The State of Texas vs. Alejandro Rose-Garcia, Story of My Life, As Per Request, and West of Calgary on Bandcamp for pay-what-you-want prices.^[12]

On June 30, 2017 the band released The Donor Blues and Nobody's Fool as a collection titled Shakey Graves and the Horse He Rode In On on vinyl and streaming services under the Dualtone label.^[13]

Shakey Graves released a new album, Can't Wake Up, on May 4, 2018, on Dualtone Records.^[14]^{[needs update]}

On May 8, 2020 Shakey Graves released a new EP, Look Alive EP
