The solo artist Alejandra Rose Gracia AKA Shakey Graves will be in Sydney next year off the back of a new album and a growing list of accolades.

The Texan one-man band won Emerging Artist Of The Year at the 2015 Americana Honors & Awards, and his music continues to top Bandcamp’s digital best-seller charts.

Starting out acting onFriday Night Lights, Shakey’s ability at musical performance soon catapulted him beyond the confines of New York’s ‘anti-folk’ scene.

Catch his Bluesfest sideshow at The Basement on Thursday March 31.
