Sunday Sessions – Shakey Graves

Carl Kinsella

Introducing Shakey Graves.

Alejandro Rose-Garcia, aka Shakey Graves, is kind of a big deal. The Americana singer is beloved in his native Austin, Texas where the Mayor proclaimed that February 9 of each year is ‘Shakey Graves Day’.

Let’s face it, we can’t compete with that level of cool.

Cool is exactly what Shakey Graves is. His music is a spectacular mix of blues, folk and country and his lyrics are wrought from American folklore.

He graced us with a performance of his own song Parliament, as well as an exclusive cover of country classic Paradise, originally written and recorded by legend of the genre John Prine.
