Shakey Graves Plays Stage AE; Free RADical Days Events (Mon., 9/24/18)

1) You may recognize a young Alejandro Rose-Garcia from “Friday Night Lights” and the Spy Kids franchise. He later pivoted to music and adopted the name Shakey Graves. His performance of “Roll the Bones,” the eponymous track from his 2011 debut studio album, is a marvel. He plays percussion courtesy a customized suitcase while strumming the guitar and singing. It’s the kind of musical originality his hometown of Austin, Texas is known for. He was the official busker for 2011’s Railroad Revival Tour, which included Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Mumford & Sons. If you like either of those folk acts, you may enjoy seeing this rising talent at Stage AE. His latest album is this year’s Can’t Wake Up. The Wild Reeds open. Doors open 7 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (CM)
