I am75 years old and just got a cell phone! The world of music is at my fingertips. This era of Covid has been so hard 😔 Shakey Graves music and videos are nourishing my spirit!

[@amybrill7962]

I requested a song and he charged guitars and played it for me he is my favourite artist of my time hands down

[@KrisP3016]

That drummer looks so happy to be there.

[@xxjerzyrecordsxx]

He's just glad that Shakey upgraded drums from one heel and a suitcase for this set.

[@ForzaNapolI1875]

lmao

[@ilmasuvetar3267]

I really like this artist ..because he is an artist not only a singer. Love his music and voice of course 😊 can't wait to see him in Manchester 2018 😃

[@katieschultz3132]

watching him makes me excited about life.

[@ElixerS5]

I wish your life the best

[@makeartsteph919]

I can't love any other artist, the same way I love Shakey.

[@jacksonscully9260]

+Stephanie Cano Fuck yeah

[@lithium771]

Love this version of If Not for You. Drums are excellent.

[@WGBHMusic]

This guy is fantastic.

[@vinkoivomilicdiaz6932]

From our partners at KEXP​ 90.3 in Seattle. Online at kexp.org.

[@vinkoivomilicdiaz6932]

Awesome!!!

[@davidletterman7786]

Brand new to Shakey Graves. What a fucking TALENT! This guy is a great guitar player, great singer, and one hell of a songwriter. He is the real deal. Blown away. I would love to know how he got so good on guitar. I hope this guy has a huge career. The only other guy who has impressed me as much is The Tallest Man on Earth. Now that would be one hell of a concert!

[@GreenDayfreak717]

Time, Dedication and passion

[@ulricrainard]

Doubtless one of the best performers right now. The amazing Shakey Graves & his drummer kicks the heck out of that kit. Wow! good morning

[@DeizeVargas]

I love the work of this guy: the beauty of simplicity!

[@chucktowski_]

ulric rainard See them live if you can. Hopefully you have :) They put on a fantastic fun show.

[@RisaKoppMusic]

+ulric rainard He's fantastic!

[@huntererdman7355]

So crazy good. I liked the video before I even hit play. Shakey Graves never ceases to amaze!

[@abloodjunkie]

This shreds and heals my heart at the same time.

[@JustinDiaz923]

Saw him at a private performance in his hometown of Austin, TX. It was life changing.

[@lumberzack8120]

What a beautiful man he is

[@Kismeta]

For me, this performance was a glorious introduction to this band. Thanks, KEXP and Shakey Graves.

[@donovanward6521]

These guys kill it.

[@GreenDayfreak717]

God I love this man.

[@summerwombles8171]

Ugh, I am so in love with his music. Shakey is where it's at!

[@evansmith9377]

You're My Boy Boo!!! Album pre-ordered, so stoked on this one Shakey! keep 'em coming!

[@RisaKoppMusic]

He's so talented. One of my faves.

[@kriserni2355]

I've never heard of this guy til late last year. It was roll the bones and KZbin recommendation. Since then I've been listening to him. January 2020 here!

[@Louise-su2ro]

This guy will be all over radio within the next 6 months.

[@anirose6807]

H Gal I wish that had happened, but then again I'm happy it didn't

[@berzherk]

Love KEXP, for all the bands you see and don't really dig, there's always that gem you didn't know about that makes it all worthwhile.

[@briancavanaugh5651]

Can't wait to see this on Thursday in St. Louis!

[@joshuaboltono]

Shakey graves raising the bar, incredible.

[@kercmerk]

This is my first time hearing the drummers voice. I really dig it! Can't wait to see Shakey in a few months.

[@4748a]

He never disappoints! Love him! :)

[@IsaacTurnerMusic]

Love this cat I started performing with a suitcase drum as well from inspiration : )

[@angusradley7515]

their chemistry is amazing, they're both so full of musical initiative. damn inspiring!

[@truemvp27]

LOVE Shakey Graves. :)

[@linkelderscrolls5549]

Constantly tapping my foot to this one!

[@1blackfrend]

What ive been searching for for so long.

[@gabescioneaux5754]

I remember Shakey when he was in Spy Kids 3 as Edog

[@menace2sobriety674]

A Star!

[@liferevolving]

Continues to impress! Thanks

[@jakebryan1988]

This is unreal! So good!!

[@MsTinabomb]

Fantastic as always!

[@sennamiller4018]

so much hot rock and roll!

[@jangabrielackhurst1666]

Reckon seeing these guys live would blow one's mind!! Stone me later, but keep thinking Jimmy and Mitch when I see this.....

[@cullum24]

Jan Gabriel Ackhurst They are wicked cool live! My second favorite behind Tallest!

[@alwayssunnyinbayside]

So good!

[@rjrulz327]

Love dearly departed duo just straight feeling it.

[@Terryleemaynard]

love Shakey Weights

[@connorsaucedo3063]

still listening still great

[@DillHurley7]

the way he sings dearly departed is so inspiring. I hope I can find 1/10 of that passion

[@aaroncarr7199]

Raw

[@dvmaprezson]

This is awesome stuff.

[@jonnytacoma]

Nice and high.. Keep seeing this band pop up on music festivals. So I've checked him/them out. Love how into it they get with eachother. Young and hungry.

[@svvmaq_]

omg, for some reason, I find him so attractive ughhh

[@MissNatalonga]

+Rebel Resist Perhaps because he's talented, handsome, passionate, exotic, and sexy...

[@MrGrunge88]

This version of "If Not For You" is fucking incredible. The album version is alright, but this one is transcendent. And that drummer, man. Whew.

[@synthvault]

Really dig the drums being added but I would be remiss if he didn't also keep playing his intricate solo work too. He's like two unique artists in one!

[@OthersOrSomething]

I think you mean 'he would be remiss', and that you might be disappointed or something. lookup the word remiss.

[@delsol019]

Nick Stephens

[@delsol019]

+Sean McGonigle

[@synthvault]

***** What I meant was the music he makes when it's just him alone (with no added drummer).

[@synthvault]

Nick Stephens Yep... you are righto amigo.

[@williamtylerast]

Haven't seen you play with a drummer - I really like it. You guys sound great.

[@natalianat9176]

Me gusta 😊

[@carmendelaroca4540]

I love you 💟

[@alanmalcheski8882]

this is John at kexp signing off. I'm going home now, to curse my parents for not making me take guitar lessons, and cry into a teddy bear.

[@lindablagg6184]

Love the variety of your music ! Heard you on Etown this morning and had to follow through with your musical journey on youtube. You will be a force to be reckoned with in the World of Music !

[@Broguyman]

Saw him in Oklahoma City with Wild Child. I wish he and Wild Child would come back through.

[@aaronalvarado4076]

Oklahoma goes hard.. Lets go watch a show.

[@bitbeak]

Love the banter and the artists you guys bring on KEXP, thanks for posting and hosting :) Also hi Cheryl 12:27

[@xxDragonTearsxx]

[@angeliqueyates4900]

Shakey is boss!

[@lizquandt]

He's so silly, and talented, and has the most beautiful beard I've ever seen 😍

[@MFJoneser]

[@ethanmosser8832]

[@fishinphysician2158]

[@cucumber6678]

Shake it!

[@shogekimura]

have to say (as with most artists in KEXP studio) I like the live versions much better than the studio/album versions.

[@AndréVincenzoGraniglia]

This shit slaps

[@ivanpretorius1283]

honestly i find these guys hard to dislike

[@liamwilson123]

Sweet lord.. Let there be thud

[@cullum24]

7 people are jealous of his beard.

[@BREAKOUT444]

[@Gabriel201036]

[@apollyon5629]

[@christianjones8684]

ITS BOOOOO

[@klarissaquigley8610]

Boo's the baby

[@theelusiveman5940]

Haha weed, doughnuts, coffee, beer.... sounds like a plethora of great things there

[@1000Neph]

Very similar to Thom Yorkes passion and style. Very impressive.

[@deanjames2577]

Somebody please tell me what chords/tuning Shakey is playing in, "where a boy once stood". This song is great, so much energy.

[@noahjones6587]

Why are these conversations wit all these guys at KEXP with Shakey sound so awkward hahaha, y'all need to lighten up haha

[@ChrissyGurrola]

i must find this guitar player and make a baby

[@anirose6807]

Chrissy Gurrola Shakey is the guitar player

[@ajdneuro]

anyone know the tuning for the first song?

[@danielcermak2474]

Damn the Swede has talent

[@makeartsteph919]

Boo did it again :3

[@dram2633]

Duletone !

[@ShreddyGnarGnar]

@KEXP Is there footage of the Diarrhea Planet session? I would love to see that.

[@FergusGallagher24]

Amazing! Any UK tours on the horizon????

[@lindacecchetti5923]

Thanks 0

[@PolandSprings16]

Wheres BOO?

[@1225evan]

someone help me find this south austin music hat? or is just something that is custom made?!

[@CowTaurog]

Actual store, been there since the beginning of time. I guess you gotta go there to actually get one, I highly doubt they sell stuff online. Whole damn lot of famous artists have been through there, and right next to the Saxon Pub, big deal to get a gig there. 1402 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78704 Edit: Aww hell, I guess they do sell them online. Oh well, go there anyways.

[@apollyon5629]

fuck yeah shakey is in sin city 2 lol

[@codyhebert3]

who are the 3 people that didn't like this

[@maythemighty5183]

I wish I could buy this recording or if he did a live cd...

[@taynemccloud8283]

You could rip it from here and put it on a CD, if those still exist.

[@maythemighty5183]

How do i rip a you tune video i thought u couldnt donit anymore.... His videos sound amazing but im sad to say his cd is produced way differently...

[@taynemccloud8283]

Maynard Payumo just google "rip youtube audio"

[@ksmo8]

I would recommend buying this. My favorite recordings audiotree.tv/session/shakey-graves/

[@ivor1977]

SHAKEY GRAVES FOR GAMBIT!! OR HAWKMAN

[@lindacecchetti5923]

[@clh2473]

+Kerry Smart I could totally see him as Gambit. Good thought.

Murder by DeathPutting together a list of great YOUNG/NEW rock bands; roughly around for 1 - 6 years / 1 - 3 albums or so; these are just general guidelines, but meant to exclude bands like Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon who are terrific but a little too old for the list. Please let me know who you think should be added, thanks. I will argue with you if they aren't rock bands, great, or young/new. Don't tell me you just discovered an awesome new band called The Pixies. You're way too late. This is the list so far... (order is random)
