About This Episode
Shakey Graves's 2018 show at Big Top
was so good, we're bringing you the whole thing! This week's Tent
Show Radio is the second half of his performance.
Shakey Graves has been categorized
as an Americana singer/songwriter, thanks to his traditionally
rooted songs, fluent acoustic-guitar picking, and Texas roots. He
was named Best Emerging Artist at the 2015 Americana Music Awards.
But that tag will undoubtedly be dismissed as restrictive and
irrelevant when his radical new album “Can’t Wake Up” is released
and performed for live show audiences.
