Biography:
Shakey Graves, aka Alejandro Rose-Garcia from Austin, Texas, plays a gnarly composite of blues and folk as a one-man-band of epic sonic proportions. The sound emitted from his hollow body guitar, mildly distorted amp and suitcase drum belie the young singer’s lean frame. He fingerpicks while keeping time with a double-pedal kick drum, hitting a snare fitted into his suitcase drum and a tambourine fashioned to its side. And when he sings, Rose-Garcia unleashes an unearthly howl.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is a Shakey Graves song so obviously he's doing some travis picking, which is alternating between the
bass line (String E) and (String D). As well there are some riffs he plays transitiones between each chord.
If requested I can tab these out for you. Here is a basic chord sheet for the song. Add a shakey vibe, and
your golden ponyboy
