WHAT IT IS: Esquire calls Alejandro Rose-Garcia a “rising folk hero,” and the L.A. Times calls his music “boundary-pushing” and “electrifying.” Austin-based Garcia, aka Shakey Graves, plays a fascinatingly original style of alt/blues/rock that has earned him an ever-expanding fan base upon the release of the critically acclaimed new album. He’s also an experienced actor who has appeared in several Robert Rodriguez films and, up to now, was most widely known for his recurring role on Friday Night Lights.
