I already knew that.

[@AdventureJenni]

Been listening to this guy for years..... and in 2024, I still keep coming back to him over and over!! Nobody else like him!!!

[@shaundallape2887]

same! merry Christmas!

[@shadetheband]

This audio tree set is the most brilliant display of raw talent in consecutive performances that I've seen

[@heididizep6081]

Shea Sylvester try Asaf Avidan - bang bang ( in a Box ) 👍🏼

[@honeybeeman9440]

Righteousness

[@56TheAnimal]

Joe Bonamassa live at the Greek is pretty wild, really any of his live performances.

[@chriskelley9896]

Yes, just incredible!

[@leroybertram2407]

Facts

[@TaraHimes-e7f]

Listened to this song through my entire pregnancy. Wanted my son to know this wisdom. He's 8 now. ❤❤❤

[@danh7391]

very few people have this level of mastery of a style.

[@TheeJhenMohran]

when compared to the rest of the world deffs by a mile, when compared to the fingers on your hand, nah

[@DharmaChameleon333]

Who's still here 2024 ❤

[@buddyfortner5679]

2025 still in my rotation i didnt discover him till 2020 myself

[@beardedsheepdog2783]

SERIOUSLY ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED ARTISTS OUT THERE

[@Viliusss123]

2021 what a fucking discovery! Amazing. When you think there is no music to surprise you anymore try Shakey Graves

[@bmac698]

He is amazing live. Last time I saw him..He played so hard his fingers literally bled..well..His thumb anyway. Awesome guy too. And so funny. I love his sense of humor.

[@krazykdon]

He looks like thats how he would be. I mean he is a one man band. I always come back to listen to this even 2019

[@naiomik6179]

Just saw him live last night, his whole set was better than anything I've seen recorded, amazing experience

[@jenniferscott796]

It reminds me how old that fucking rooster is.

[@rabbithole797]

You know WHAT?? Watching and listening to you dude, makes me HAPPY!!!!! Makes my FEET happy!!!! And my shoulders bob and roll about. . .with a big squirmy, stupid ol smile on my face! And I'm tellin ya this, there's just NOTHIN better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@n4nurfknb1ness52]

This comment makes me happy. So damn true. Exactly what I was doing haha.

[@rabbithole797]

Exactly, and beautifully done bra. Thanks for sharing, all, ad responding.

[@donnieblankenship9267]

Rabbit Hole or op

[@existingman3000]

Same here 🖐️

[@dardarkazzy4851]

Rabbit Hole exactly!!! Lol

[@MegadethMiller]

Really like how unique his live performances are. I have favorite performances of my favorite songs.

[@ikoikjji5548]

What r they? A favorite of mine is his performance of the waters on musical chairs

[@MegadethMiller]

I like Late July and Word of Mouth by the storm drain. Dearly Departed on the John Lennon Bus, and The Waters live at the Good Music Club the most I think

[@jenniferscott796]

I like the sidewalk with Beats.

[@jenniferscott796]

​Good. It's agreed upon then. I am excellent at fluffing you while you gargle with herbs and artesian water. Your voice is a national treasure indeed.

[@JeremiahObediah]

I saw a snake in an apple tree and I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me. Awesome.

[@ohnoyoyo]

He said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world, Just buy a collared shirt and try and fuck some girls.... solid gold

[@EarlKt4]

100 :D

[@katiekrautz]

my two favorite parts tooo

[@johnnyrotten5196]

Got to love it.. he's one of the best.. you know shovels and rope.. ? Check them out ..

[@ashleywilcoxen2353]

I read this as he sang it. Talk about timing

[@tomhall9713]

And every once in a while somebody comes along and sings somgs that pour out your heart and soul.its then that evrything will be alright again.amazing gods grace comes just in time for some of us born to live a hard life...

[@Eristotle222]

For me 2013 was a good year and this performance was a big part of the soundtrack

[@libraryofthelabyrinth]

Literally just discovered him. Im off on my journey! See yall on the flip side.

[@hwanjung8230]

I'd recommend seeing him live. Amazing performer

[@akillersandwich8360]

Hows the journey?

[@blokmuscle]

Don't even remember when I first discovered Shakey, but glad I did. For years now I have listened to him and came back to this Audiotree as well. It is just such a beautiful composition of masterwork. If someone reading this isn't sure of where Shakey got his name, you owe it to yourself to watch his "Late July" video. In the intro he tells a very real and humorous story most of us can relate to, and here we are: Shakey Graves.

[@adamdavis1497]

God damn this man is easily one of the most expressive musicians I've ever had the honor of listening to. What a wonderful soul.

[@412Hustlin]

Bruh. Well he says - if you value your life , stay off the drugs, if you value the drugs stay off the map. If value the maps TRAVEL. sheeeh. 10/10 music. Gotta be through it or seen it. This is 100/100 productions and music

[@LuxeGeek]

I love the colour of his voice so much! ❤

[@lauramansonv5989]

Found this 4 yrs ago and still listening yet ❤

[@WillJukedTheBox]

this is the best song i've ever heard

[@aaronbrock9480]

William I try not to label anything the best but I understand where you’re coming from.

[@colt2407]

😅❤️

[@txjack03]

Shut up

[@jenniferscott796]

​@@aaronbrock9480Friend-Ohs, it's youse.

[@Marilynpcabrera]

when he says "won't give him no food" MY GOD!! had to replay it.

[@jmantonya]

Mary Cabrera a million times.. Sexiest man EVER!! I have tickets to see him next week :-) :-)

[@Marilynpcabrera]

jmantonya oh god you are sooooooo lucky!!! how was it?!

[@jmantonya]

AMAZING

[@EmadAziz189]

3:15 i hear you

[@smithkid1997]

got to see him live when he opened for city and colour, his performance was mind blowingly good

[@codyyates4318]

saw him in PG the day after his birthday on that tour. I hope he comes back to our dirt hole.

[@kaydenjewers5369]

I was at PG too. He better come back and do a full show

[@DravenMercer]

Ben Smith omg, I wish I could see him open for City and Colour. I finally saw Dallas Green last month.

[@flowers321]

I'm jealous! Bet that was an incredible show :-) Good on ya!

[@jasonboyd306]

Same, in Kelowna last year. Brilliant musician

[@abrahamaguirre2237]

People like this need to be cherished and valued

[@michelleeasterday2423]

He's definitely an American treasure.

[@JeremiahObediah]

I can't get over how amazing this is. Really. I don't think any other person could produce this sound

[@jenniferscott796]

HuggOs

[@Frazzlefob]

This whole performance is washing my soul. What a true hidden gem on KZbin!

[@sillystring3321]

he's so beautiful. seeing him live was literally magical.

[@jessieutter]

Absolutely no offense to Shakey, here. But I think his audiotree session sounds better that his albums! He sounds so much better doing all this on his own! He's so talented. His voice and instrumental method here is perfection.

[@tessmiles596]

This is a masterpiece, the beats are killer & oh so fitting with the lyrics. Nice❤

[@austinamh1]

Still to this day i come back to this.

[@jehoshaphatchavez6058]

I found this collection of videos about a year and a half ago. immediately fell in love. I wish there was a better way to express how much I adore these videos that goes beyond simply liking them

[@MrSpunkinz007]

Shakey graves. Honestly my favourite music artist iv ever heard, listen to you nearly every day. Mc escher of music absolute genius. You put me in an absolute great mood daily ✨️ 💕 😌 💛

[@nosirrahelocin]

So this is the most crazy amazing thing I've seen. I have not loved a song so fully and instantaneously in a very long time. Thank you.

[@jenniferscott796]

There was LIFE here once. Damn that is Earth shakingly visceral. I'm not being anything but devastated right now. Pain so overcome and horrific to be it put upon yet proudly full of Mpathy and rage.

[@britthill9765]

"Ooooooh, oooh- ooooooh. Ooooo-ooooooh!" i think this might be the official lyric defining quite a percentage of Shaky Songs. Now. Why didn't anybody tell us bliss was this simple?❤🎉

[@francesmorrighan5578]

Absolutely in love. My soul leaps every time I run across one of his songs! May he stay in this business until the sun turns cold.

[@chronicmango]

Some of the better uses of dynamics I've ever seen. Genius.

[@madalynno9329]

Maxwell Mooney N m,nn mm so,staff Nep .dmmd,f,fm Y,Genzyme,xjdZh

[@SimonAlexanders]

I'll come back here everyday, if just for a split second, but just to hear his magic.

[@DEATH_TO_TYRANTS]

Simon Alexander Are you here today?

[@Derek-no8fu]

But? ... The song is over six minutes long Simon. Surely your schedule can't be that busy?

[@jesusflores9191]

Liar

[@flameballification]

Simon where the fuck are you?

[@SimonAlexanders]

Hello

[@nicolekalomas6050]

Every song I listen to becomes my hands down absolutely favorite song....till I hear his next song then that is my absolutely hands down favorite song...then I hear his next song.......

[@sokrateas]

You always find a way to bring a smile to my face and a tear to my eye. Thanks Shakey

[@haveniteyes]

This guys just off the charts.Never scene heard so much talent.A true you tube treasure.

[@gacie50808]

where has this guy been all my life this music is so great

[@madisonolinger7515]

Pair an incredible musician with incredible filmmakers and MAGIC IS MADE

[@SirChoixALot]

Well I see a girl, that's blue like the sea; When I go to sleep, you know that she sees me too. Yeah just standin' around like the popular kids, Hopin' Saint Peter will let 'er sin too. Well 'e says if you value your life, stay off the drugs. If you value the drugs, stay off the map. If you value them maps, you better travel some, And if you don't wanna travel, then you better run yeah. Yeah well I knew a king, in his purple throne, Though he had some trouble, so he's all alone now. Well I used to bring him little presents oh from time to time He'd sit me in his castle, and he'd pick my mind He said if you value your heart, well stay on the road. If you value the road, oh stay on the top. If you value the top, oh you're gonna suffer son, And if you don't wanna suffer, then you better run, oh Yeah well I seen my boos in his practical suit, Gonna toss him in the cellar; won't-a give him no food. Yeah you know and anybody tries oh to tell him what to do, He holds his breath until he turns blue. Yeah he says if you value your job, stay outta crime. If you value the crime, stay outta doors. If you value them doors, then you better lock 'em son, And if you don't wanna lock 'em, oh you better buy a gun, yeah Yeah well I saw a snake in an apple tree, And no I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, NO Yeah he said it must be gettin' awful lonely tryin' to save the world, Just buy a collared shirt, and try to fuck some girls. Oh he said if you value your limbs, stay in the game. If you value the game, stay in that style. If you value that style, you're sinkin' son, And if you don't wanna sink, then you better run, Yeah you better run, yeah Yeah oh you better run Yeah mmmm **Couple of oo's and oh's and mm's and yeah's missing, but I feel the main words are correct here.

[@albiekruer9380]

Minor correction, but I think it's "Hopin St Peter will let us in too" as in into the gates of heaven.

[@christophershort1616]

Ty

[@dangerousflyer4485]

I think its wanna give him no food

[@trentcarr1784]

Hoping st peter will let us* in* too lmao

[@kimscavs]

I so wish that this song was on I-tunes to download...I love it!

[@audiotree]

Kim Kaslow You can purchase the entire 5 track Audiotree Live session here: audiotree.tv/session/shakey-graves/

[@kimscavs]

Audiotreetv Thank you for letting me know!! I really love the songs from this session. I was sorry to miss him when he was in Maine last fall.

[@FusRoGriffin]

Kim Kaslow He came to maine?! ugh I totally missed that!

[@kimscavs]

***** Yes....last fall at the Portland State Theater. I was bummed that I missed seeing him.

[@fishbrehth]

+Kim Kaslow you can also buy, I think, a couple of different versions that he's recorded from bandcamp

[@lillyrocks2011]

He's sooo talented. Love his voice, lyrics, music. And yes He's very attractive.

[@bennettvasquez5957]

This hit diff wen u stumbled and u jam. Three years later diff circumstances,still touches my soul thank sir Shakey

[@DerelictNacho]

I can't get enough of this video and song. So well shot and such a great musician.

[@coralwilson9879]

Can't believe I've just found this guy can't stop listening to him what a guy

[@jimbofff87]

As an amateur musician this is what i aspire to. He is amazing!

[@reidhansen7030]

Such an important song for this spiritual war that is taking place.

[@DemolitionCinema]

This guy is really good at multitasking....

[@kevinkeep5337]

Hi my name's Skillet I did an EP with Thug Emporium years ago starvin like Marvin featuring Skillet I just heard Kaleo for the first time yesterday and then Shakey Graves today i write a lot of music and sing but I'm in Pure Heaven thank you Lord for sending me Kaleo and Shakey Graves they both should do a song ❤ HEART SOME SCARS. IT'S MY BDAY CAKE WEEK. Peeps 💋

[@kaylamarie3480]

I just saw him yesterday in Connecticut, he was amazing live, and such a sweet guy. Also, in my opinion he is a pretty awesome guitarist, atleast when playing yesterday he gave me goose bumps! I recommend going to one of his free concerts before judging him too harshly xD

[@DhestinyRevol]

Damn. I love his music. Beautifully expressed and so powerful, brings back such joyful memories, nice to be able to somewhat relive a feeling from the past

[@fabiosequeira8002]

6minutes 34seconds of pure bliss. AMAZING

[@nicolebaker6013]

only 542,307 views? seriously???? for a year and a half!? WTF!!!!

[@MrCarssie]

yep.. should be way more.

[@wocathoden]

I have to admit... I've viewed my fair share, And even showed this to all my friends.

[@tommcauley449]

why? that's great for an alternative artist like this As he gets more exposure in the next year it will grow significantly I love his music but it does weigh on people as to how it tends to repeat itself thematically a great studio record..which they now have ..will blow this artist up

[@McHistoricalinacuraC]

I guess the word of mouth for the song didn't get around. BAM joke

[@1110100110]

***** I'm totally right behind you. I found this guy around two years ago, and I still come back to listen. (Aug. of 2013 before anyone says anything, so more like a little over a year).

[@tessacanzona610]

Wow! What an awesome performance! Thank you!

[@Ok_Cal]

To be able to do all that at once is insane and you sir are insanely talented!

[@buddyfortner5679]

4:17 when he switches tempo it gives me chills in the best kind of way

[@TylerHarris420]

I'm pretty sure each one of his ankles has a brain.

[@FvckTheEU]

this guy is a fucking octopus!! lol

[@creepy-yd1bz]

???

[@Regiald]

actually brain is in you're head, not ankles or legs :)

[@christopherspoelstra1096]

^ This person knows yo.

[@RazgulTheKind]

r/whooosh

[@boboala1]

My nephew tasked me at Thanksgiving to check out Shakey Graves. Have now done so...and...am stunned! Somebody convince me this young lad doesn't have an old musical soul....much older than he is in years. From what I've seen/heard he prefers and thrives with his old suitcase and tambourine vs a modern digital studio and the temptation to change his tunes into electro--pop top 40....so he can be 'cool'! He be cool?

[@keeganjones2088]

Requesting for Shakey Graves and Tyler Childers to do a song together repost this if you think they should.

[@laurels.2669]

That would make this year so much better.

[@JustinVZyl]

Man, what is there to say, you are up there with the greats, your songs will be with me for the rest of my life

[@cubworld]

Loving this vibe! Like an old motown classic mixed with Joshua James.

[@cubworld]

who?

[@LK2.O]

when?

[@jacobkongaika6852]

TheLonesomeKiwi Right?

[@brycebrandon100]

Just heard of you today. Trying to listen to as many songs of yours I can, so far I like what I hear.

[@ambr1993angel]

he is absolutely beautiful and his potential is absolutely stunning!

[@bettylou100]

I wish I would have seen him before today. He is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

[@chesca2730]

if anyone wants recommendations on his songs i suggest coat of arms, wild card (stetson version), call it heaven (sun king version), pansy waltz, hard wired (stetson version), the perfect parts (riverview bungalow version), the waters (double j version), the many man, (airstream trailer version), tommorow (airstream trailer version, all the audiotree lives, dearly departed (sun king studio version), if not for you (on the boat), and family and genus. happy shakey listening

[@Pr0x1mo]

Many men acoustic badassery version and kexp pickathon version which i tabbed out

[@foneperson]

Dot

[@caitlinkane7757]

You missed Roll the Bones (Good Music Club version.)

[@skylerolson814]

Where a boy once stood (KEXP)

[@jenniferfrederick883]

I love the way he has themes in a bunch of songs that he uses all over the place. There's certain riffs he'll play from one song and stick it in another. This one has a bunch and I LOVE IT.

[@scottrichard5792]

Me too! Is this your favorite song of him?

[@callumharrison231]

I'm from the UK and never heard of this guy before I stumbled across him on KZbin, now a few weeks and views later he is a absolute favourite of mine, what a special artist, some people just don't get the recognition they deserve over the pond here, does he have an album I can buy? I'd love to have a copy

[@dakotamiller1722]

Callum Harrison he has about 4 full lengths and quite a few live albums they're all mostly on KZbin some you can pick up in February on shakey day

[@callumharrison231]

koty boi, thanks man I've found a couple of them on KZbin, il readily await February to come round.

[@kayraedclyffe4270]

It's beautiful to see unique artists being able to express themselves... leave us to our own devices

[@autumgoldblum]

He's too good to be on spotify. He's doing this is old school style. I respect him 100x more for that.

[@nicholass1395]

All of you saying " don't change or stay true to yourself" are funny. Anyone who puts this much feeling and honesty in their music won't change. This guys as real as it gets. If you can't see that or hear the grit in his voice then you don't get his music

[@oliviakerns8528]

thank you so much for your music shakey

[@123maryfrances]

Come back to Southern Oregon, Shakey! Bring Robert Plant and the guys with you--you were so awesome at Britt Festival this last summer, looking forward to seeing you again!

[@seanhollandcanada]

Awesome. Come to Vancouver Island if you can. I'd like to try to help make that happen.

[@pedrosantistevan5707]

[@andrewhickey1818]

So excited to see him in Toronto with city and colour.

[@tshirt1610]

this performance gave me shivers, i'm so in love

[@MDKDekay]

Shakey Graves is his music, his music is Shakey Graves! This man is not merely a virtuoso, he is an icon, a god!

[@victorrice4549]

Real musicians forget the words and make it work just as well. Way to go.

[@alexhenderson6038]

all his songs seem to have the same format in one way or another. I still can't get enough. What a beautiful song.

[@coreylatimer9577]

I hate a lot of mainstream...but this dude needs to be mainstream already. So so talented.

[@HanakoTheJujube]

Well I see a girl that's blue like the sea When I go to sleep you know that she sees me, too Oh yeah just standing around like the popular kids Just hoping Saint Peter will let us in too He says, "If you value your life, stay off the drugs If you value the drugs, stay off the map If you value them maps, you'd better travel, son And if you don't want to travel then you'd better run, yeah" [*Vocalizing*] Yeah well I knew a king in his purple throne You know that he had some trouble so he's all alone now Well I used to bring him little presents from time to time He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind He said, "If you value your heart, stay on the road If you value the road, stay on the top If you value the top, you're gonna suffer son And if you don't wanna suffer then you'd better run, yeah" [*Vocalizing*] Well I see my boss in his practical suit You know I'll toss him in the cellar, won't give him no food Yeah, when anybody tries to tell him what to do He holds his breath until he turns blue He says, "If you value your job, stay out of crime If you value the crime, stay out of doors If you value them doors, you'd better lock 'em son And if you don't want to lock 'em, you'd better buy a gun" [*Vocalizing*] Yeah, well I saw a snake in an apple tree You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, no!

[@paullawrencedotnet]

very difficult to play drums like that while playing guitar and singing. very, very tough. I would say, unless you've seen this guy live, better not to criticize. I. for one, tend to like his songs

[@emilyreeves4942]

It’s 2024 and I’m wondering why don’t more people know him by now.

[@deankramer2054]

you are possibly my new favorite singer

[@SIMMEGA1]

Just can't stop listening to this incredible music in my earphones at work. Shaking my head like an idiot.
