Today’s WYCE Artist of the Day is Shakey Graves. Born Alejandro Rose-Garcia, Shakey Graves is an Americana musician from Austin, Texas. His music is a cross between blues, country, and rock and roll. He performs at many festivals and concert venues around the United States. Shakey Graves became known for his one-man band set up and most of his debut album Roll the Bones is Rose-Garcia playing unaccompanied by other musicians. When he began working on his sophomore album, And the War Came, Rose-Garcia added musicians to his recording and live sets. On February 9th, 2012, the Mayor of Austin proclaimed a "Shakey Graves Day". On Shakey Graves Day (and for the two days following) all of his music is available on bandcamp for pay-what-you-want prices. Fans can download unreleased albums The State of Texas vs. Alejandro Rose-Garcia, Story of my Life, As Per Request, West of Calgary, and Nobody's Fool. These are only available 3 days a year. Shakey will appearing tonight at the The Pyramid Scheme w/ David Ramirez.
