Across his career, Shakey Graves—a.k.a. the performance moniker of Austin, Texas-born Alejandro Rose-Garcia—has intentionally created thrilling musical adventures tailored to each fan: burning CDs and putting them in personalized decorated bags; building intricate scavenger hunts that send fans in search of unique tapes; and Bandcamp-exclusive releases.
"The fans and musicians that really resonate with me—and the inexplicable ways that I find things that I like—are usually entirely through randomness and chaos and accident," Rose-Garcia says. "I've always been on this quest to make people feel like my own music is a choose your own adventure."
In 2024 Rose-Garcia celebrated the ten year anniversary of his And The War Came album with a special 10 Year Anniversary Edition release featuring never before heard demos and b-sides from the recording process and inviting fans to enter the long-since abandoned Music House.
His story continues to unfold, but Shakey Graves Is Still A Gentleman From Texas.

Jobi Riccio knows that while a quiet heart-to-heart can solve many problems,
sometimes the heart needs a giant, all-caps billboard, especially when the world
around that massive sign gets louder by the day. As each new track on her new
album Face the Feeling (due May 15th via Yep Roc Records) unveils, Riccio faces
another inescapable emotion as if it were a billboard screaming into view as she
hurtles down the highway. And rather than turn away from their challenge, Riccio
faces those uncomfortable moments with the thrill of self-discovery, reveling in
growth and change as facts of life.
Throughout Face the Feeling, Riccio finds masterful balance between extremes,
indulging in the light and the dark, the subtle and the direct, the ecstatic highs and
the mournful lows. “You have to chase what moves you, what’s exciting you,” the
Nashville-via-Colorado musician says. For Riccio’s sublime debut album, Whiplash,
that meant exploring growing up and coming of age, hoping to find a route away
from chaos and pain. On the follow-up, she courageously wades into the
uncomfortability and luxuriates in the catharsis—finding a remarkable strength in
leaning into the power of change rather than resisting it.
In addition to the shifting inspiration, Riccio reaches beyond folk and country to find
a new, more electric path through emotionally unguarded terrain. By merging the
introspective storytelling of Americana with the restless pulse of indie rock, she
reaches a deeper strength than those filling her already impressive résumé. Those
heights include Riccio having received the John Prine Songwriters Fellowship Award
at the Newport Folk Festival, earned an Americana Honors & Awards Nomination for
Emerging Artist of the Year, dazzled at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, and having
made her national TV debut on CBS Saturday. She’s toured with legends and icons
including Lucius, Jason Isbell, and Iron & Wine. And yet despite those accolades and
achievements, Face the Feeling pushes out to even more adventurous boundaries.
