Shakey Graves is the stage name used by Alejandro Rose-Garcia, a singer, guitarist, songwriter, one man band, and an occasional actor. His current work has good amount of mood-setting built into his songs that vaguely reference some of the low key varieties of early stages of glam and psychedelic rock. Up till that pointy, folk and alt country were more or less his calling card. His big break came with his self-released 2011 album Roll the Bones, which was a striking collection of stripped down blues-folk songs that were both remarkably good and did not sound like anyone else, with his fingerpicking guitar, harmonica, kick drum and tambourine, and campfire vibe. That quickly defined his overall style until the his shift to indie in 2018's Can't Wake Up. Despite the change, Rose-Garcia still writes sharp songs with a personal touch and sounds utterly sincere and uncalculated.
