Don’t miss an electrifying evening of music as WXPN Welcomes Shakey Graves and Buffalo Hunt to the Appell Center on December 8!
Texas-born Alejandro Rose-Garcia, a.k.a. Shakey Graves, known for his genre-blurring blend of folk, blues and rock, captivates audiences with his signature sound and heartfelt storytelling. With hits that resonate and a stage presence that leaves you wanting more, this performance is a must-see!
Opening the night is the incredible Buffalo Hunt, whose powerful melodies and thought-provoking lyrics blend modern influences with traditional roots, creating a sound that’s both innovative and deeply resonant.
Don’t miss this chance to experience these two amazing artists in one unforgettable night!
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.”
As Rose-Garcia releases his new Shakey Graves album Movie of the Week — a collection of songs whittled down from epic-length recording sessions — he has devised one of his most innovative musical adventures yet. “For the album release, I’m setting up a website,” he says. “On this website, there will be a way to shuffle a collection of alternate tracks and unique songs from the sessions in seemingly infinite combinations to create new albums.” Thanks to this cutting-edge technology, fans will be able to own this alternate version and do
whatever they want with it — giving them control over the destiny of the music.
“Imagination really is the tool,” Rose-Garcia says. “The point is to make and create something yourself. Any way that I can allow people to apply their imagination over my music — and allow them to sculpt it using their own prompts — will let them create something new.”
Buffalo Hunt is the songwriting moniker of Austin, TX, multi-hyphenate Stephanie Hunt, who when not acting, writing or hosting, is composing thoughtful “take-a-puff-and-put-on-the-headphones” kind of songs with lyrics that cleverly upend your expectations or surprise you with metaphor. Touting a sound that seamlessly blends psychedelic pop, Laurel Canyon-style songcraft and midcentury honky-tonk touches, she makes music you are meant to spend time with. An artistically formidable effort, her debut album, Ambitions of Ambiguity is the sort of record that’s easy to love on first listen, while also being lauded by Rolling Stone, FLAUNT, Americana Highways, KUTX and The Austin Chronicle, among others.
With additional appearances on songs with James Petralli (White Denim), Ghost Songs with Alex Maas and Christian Bland (of The Black Angels), Pope Coke, her outfit with Jazz Mills (Cowboy & Indian) and duets with husband Shakey Graves, she’s proven a diverse collaborator with a wide palette of musical taste.
Now a mother, with a dose of new perspective, she approaches the next phase of Buffalo Hunt with a wide range of contributors, touring prospects and new music in tow.
