Shakey Graves

FULL DESCRIPTION

A cave in rural Tennessee feels like the perfect place to see a Shakey Graves show. The Texas troubadour cut his teeth as a DIY artist posting to Bandcamp and passing out CD-R copies of music to showgoers. He built a following by singing too-real songs that straddle a blurred line between lo-fi rock ’n’ roll, Texas twang and electric folk world-building. And The Caverns — a cave turned concert hall in Grundy County — may be the coolest place around to hear his collection of unfiltered tunes. This spring, Graves (born Alejandro Rose-Garcia) tours in support of a 10-year anniversary edition of his album And the War Came, which features fan-favorite number “Dearly Departed.” Canadian singer-songwriter Ruby Waters opens the show. As with most shows at The Caverns, concertgoers can add to the Grundy County road-trip experience by purchasing a pre-show cave tour pass or post-show camping slot.
