Shakey Graves Was Here Tour

November 6, 2021 @ 8:00 pm - 11:00 pm

$40

Shakey听Graves is the stage and performing name of Alejandro Rose-Garcia, an American folk-rock singer, songwriter from Austin, Texas, U.S.

Rose-Garcia is an independent artist through and through. Thanks to the donations of fans and the modest homegrown talent, the singer/songwriter has been able to record and release and number of albums and EPs. These included 鈥淩oll the Bones鈥 in 2011, a folk album with a tender and teasing playfulness to it and the eight-track Donor Blues EP, a very lo-fi recording with a big heart.

In preparation for a 2013 Halloween show in Colorado, U.S., Rose-Garcia with friend and fellow musician Esme Patterson of Paper Bird, spent a few hours in Patterson鈥檚 house writing a song. Wearing bold Halloween costumes, the pair took the newly created sheet music on stage and received听a听unexpected whirlwind of a reaction, for the weave-like texture of the male and female vocals. The song was called 鈥淒early Departed鈥 and has since only expanded on that success, with over four-million plays on Spotify and a performance on late night TV show 鈥楥onan鈥.

The single 鈥淒early Departed鈥 featured on听Shakey听Graves鈥 2014 album 鈥淎nd听The听War Came鈥 which many of the songs also adopt a similar male and female vocal arrangement. Since the release the pair have played too听sold out听audiences in Portland, Oregon, New York, San Francisco, California and Chicago, U.S. with increasingly bigger shows and festival slots.
