This is a big week for Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the Austin-based Americana musician who performs his honest, bluesy folk tunes under the stage name Shakey Graves.
He’s headlining the Westword Music Showcase this Saturday, June 24. Tonight, Tuesday, June 20, he’ll play a sold-out headlining set at Belly Up in Aspen. Where does he plan to stay after his concert? Actor Kevin Costner’s house, of course.
Rose-Garcia is in the midst of a ten-day recording session at the Costner house, working on the followup to 2014’s And the War Came; the new album is expected to be released next year, reports the Aspen Times.
Shakey Graves releases have a history of being recorded in lo-fi settings; Rose-Garcia’s debut full-length, Roll The Bones, was produced at his own house, with some parts recorded in his back yard.
