SPIN Sessions: Shakey Graves - “Roll the Bones/Built to Roam” (Live At Voodoo Experience 2016)

  • Alejandro-Rose Garcia - better known as the multi-talented, genre bending artist Shakey Graves - makes busking into an art. He expertly weaves looped guitar riffs together live onstage all while keeping rhythm on suitcase that pulls double-duty as both amp and drum kit, an undertaking that only serves to bolster Rose’s growing reputation as a technically gifted artist. But his talents aren’t limited to his pedal loadout; Rose also injects a dusty Texas soul into each of his songs and displays an elastic range that jumps between a folksinger’s gentle warble and a country star’s pleading holler. That array is plain to see on “Roll the Bones” and “Built to Roam," two songs he brought to the Toyota Music Den stage at this year’s Voodoo Fest.

    Best way to describe Shakey, is that he is an artist that does covers of himself, and isnt weighed down by having bandmates, so he can change any aspect of the song he wants depending on how he feels at the time.

    I've seen him play this song six or seven different ways and every single one of them still blows me away! Such an amazing artist!

    I'm really happy to have seen him go from a hidden gem on Bandcamp to a full-blown Texan star. So fucking talented, cool, and deserving of his praise.. Also digging the grimier electric sound he's putting out now.
