Shakey Graves returns to headline Winspear Centre

With a name like Shakey Graves, it’s no wonder he went into show business.

OK, so it’s not his real name, but the story of one Alejandro Rose-Garcia is still remarkable: Just another dude from Austin, Texas with a guitar and some cool country-like songs becomes the darling of the folk fest circuit, and a poster child for “Americana.” Seven albums later and he’s moved up to headlining the concert halls – including Edmonton’s Winspear Centre on Tuesday, March 26. It’s one stop on a tour behind his latest album, Can’t Wake Up, said to be another genre-busting experimental triumph. Also fresh off the presses is a new live EP, Night Owl Sessions.

Tickets from $29.50 go on sale Friday.
