4. Genre
Shakey has released two albums in his unique style
an attitude towards music. His style is a bluesy folk
mixture. His music is his canvass and his style is
more mellow feeling but always accompanied with
a catchy rhythm.
7. Favorite Song
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD72LbIk02M
Roll the Bones tops as my favorite song from
Shakey. Guitar skills are beautifully shown in a
song about taking risks and moving forward in life.
His one-man assemble is showcased beautifully in
this video, truly a talented individual.
8. Why do I like em?
Shakey Graves is a confident and cool one man
weapon. His music is inpiring and orignal. Many
songs he wrote are about enjoying oneself, and how
lifes too short for trivial nonesense. This plays a
major role in my life, as I constantly feel I’m over
thinking situations adding stress to my life that
could be easily avoided.
9. Shakey Graves
Shakey graves uses multiple sources of social
media, giving a preference to twitter. His
personality really shines on twitter, as he makes
frequent jokes towards playing at certain venues in
towns. Saying funny things like “Good lord, Austin
is on fire today, beard/mustache competitions,
baseball, chili cook offs, assault rifle parade...I
missed you too”
10. Fan Engagement
Using twitter as a favourite form of talking to fans,
Shakey often answers questions from the fans, and
tweets often about upcoming shows.
12. Venues
Many upcoming concerts are in the Southern United
States. He plays with Those Darlins, which give a
folk/country style, complimenting his own music
nicely.
13. Purchasing Music
