Shakey Graves on Audiotree Live (Full Session #2)

Download & stream Shakey Graves on Audiotree Live -- smarturl.it/AT-Shakey-Graves-2
Shakey Graves is a folk rock songwriter who writes personal ballads with frenetic finger-picking guitar work and snarling, cacophonous tones. He first graced the stage as a solo act, performing with a suitcase modded into a kick drum/tambourine that is feverishly worked with booted heels. Shakey spent years road-testing this inimitable one man band, honing his craft and focusing on defining a unique sound. In 2014 he met songwriter Esme Patterson, solo performer and member of the Denver-based band Paper Bird. Together they wrote the smash hit, “Dearly Departed,” a song originally conceived on Halloween as a “tongue-in-cheek, haunted house sex joke.” Shakey toured tirelessly with Patterson in tow, performing across the country and paving the way for 2014’s “And the War Came,” his second LP and first official release. The tour became an introduction to his new, play-with-others style; a stark departure from his previous loner mountain man look. Shakey himself as spoken of the project as continuously evolving. His most recent iteration is a braggadocio-filled rock quartet, and his mesmerizing stage performance is a replication of his career’s story arc. It shuffles between solo and full band, reflecting the themes of “domestication and acknowledgement of the other” present on “And the War Came” by rotating through lineup variations. His style evolves to coincide with the music being created. Shakey has moved from the 10-gallon hat, tank top, and cowboy boots to more punk rock-influenced dark leather, flat brim, and sneakers. His project is in a constant state of change, but his Austin, Texas roots remain. Shakey is a songwriter filled with soul whose contemplative, poetic moments give way to bone-rattling growls from his trusty Loar guitar. Check out the performance by Shakey Graves on Audiotree Live.
Recorded on November 6, 2015 in Chicago, IL.

so glad it's the same interviewer as the 2013 one. Him and Shakey have such great chemistry!

[@novembertrails]

it's not though, that interviewer has great chemistry with almost all the artists that come to audiotree

[@ArandomNutter]

He is good fit for talking to him and I love that the people who record these sessions are into their music and it's not just a job for them.

[@ethannicholson3466]

Love it

[@ericbaum5918]

I am so glad, too. They seem to have a great vibe. That's a beautiful thing to watch.

[@felixharding9497]

if you like him so much why don't you just marry him

[@BeesKneesPK]

They never play the same song the same way. Different every time, I love it/them.

[@LippensEnte]

It's not a band. Shake Graves is one guy.

[@nickymccann9614]

[@IanSlatas]

How has it been FIVE years already?? Still such a fun performance to listen to.

[@jtgoins34]

I freaking love the beat the drummer laid down the first song. Sounds so clean!

[@adamlwalker1993]

you and me both brother!

[@bonhelm1]

Just stumbling on this years later and I’m completely obsessed with this set! The sound is so big…big drums really open it up so much. I love the edge and tone of the guitars but the drums really take it to another level. Such a great artist, and I dig the subtlety when he’s on his own, but this is big and rockin…oh yea

[@light_and_sound]

Boo is such a fun drummer!

[@cn9630]

OK BEST VOICE BEST GUITARIST BEST DRUMMER JUST “””THE BEST”””

[@MattBramer]

It's so awesome that they plays their songs differently every time they're somewhere live.

[@light_and_sound]

That's why I've gone to see them so many times. 💛

[@jquinlan94]

Why am I only now seeing this? Better late than never, hey.

[@rileylevine7631]

With you on that one lol.

[@blkout2412]

The drum line for If Not for You makes me feel funny inside.

[@joshuacleveland6678]

that drummer is a badass

[@IanSlatas]

Booooooooosahda! He's amazing.

[@Tealfox73]

Family and Genus at the end MY GOD that was spectacular. I prefer this live version so much more - and I love the original! Hoping to catch a show soon!

[@adrianacarrero2559]

This is the best version of "To Cure What Ails" everrrrr. Perfection! and I love how animated he is during the songs. Alejandro can do no wrong

[@caseyknows]

Agreed

[@alexterrel9594]

Npr version was MUCH better in my opinion. This is def 2nd :)

[@mclainpoole3729]

Astral Apophis the original is by far the greatest

[@casady6]

Possibly the best version of Perfect Parts i've ever heard by him

[@Zebrahead6000]

'Where a Boy Once Stood'=Fucking Epic! I love you Shakey Graves.

[@jasonmcculloch5781]

Cops-Vs-Hobos all day. I'd watch that. Great session.

[@matthewgrogg8670]

SO underrated yet so powerful.

[@mattagrella4369]

Shakey, in your first session you talked about never being a hat guy. I must say, with all due respect, you're a handsome dude in a flatbill!! Rock it brotha!!!!!

[@porkyoak]

some of this guitar work , the more experimental side of things mirrors stuff i hear on the tropic rot by poison the well and mixed with earlier shakey graves work makes for an extraordinary experience! this is fucking awesome

[@wolfcreekboys7353]

I just spun you come before you the other day and remembered how much I loved poison the well.

[@kellykim0226]

[@drxedf0420]

So I just discovered you today, but I can honestly say I loved you when you were solo. I thought to myself this dude needs and drummer and and a bassist and after hearing the difference, I will honestly admit I was wrong. This is great music either way, but you're one of the only artists I've enjoyed every song from. Idk if you read these or not but thank you so much you saying the things, I for some reason can't say... I appreciate everything you do man.

[@Sifikusrus]
