SHAKEY GRAVES

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.

AMANDA SHIRES

A truly singular creative force, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Amanda Shires has made an extraordinary career out of restlessly pursuing her deepest instincts and passions. Since getting her start playing fiddle with the legendary Texas Playboys at the young age of 15, the West Texas native has brought her nuanced songwriting and boundless originality to a series of critically acclaimed solo albums, collaborated with the likes of John Prine and Justin Townes Earle, and earned the 2017 Emerging Artist of the Year prize from the Americana Music Association (AMA). Amanda is also the founder of The Highwomen – a supergroup she performs in alongside Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Brandi Carlile.  She received unanimous praise for her album Take It Like A Man. Written and recorded during lockdown, Take It Like A Man is a fearless song cycle of ruthlessly candid tunes documenting Amanda’s life as a woman during a tumultuous time and features guest vocals by Maren Morris and Brittney Spencer. Her anticipated new album will be released in the fall of 2025.  

J. ISAIAH EVANS & THE BOSS TWEED

Fueled by American rock & roll and Texan country-boogie, J. Isaiah Evans & The Boss Tweed play revved-up roots music for garages, roadhouses, and juke joints. It’s an old-school sound for the modern age, performed by an organ trio with overdriven amps and plenty of reverence for the trailblazers who came before them. Inspired by acts like Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and Ike Turner, Evans teamed up with keyboardist Matthew Vasquez and drummer Spud Crowley to form The Boss Tweed after fronting another critically-acclaimed act, The 40 Acre Mule, for nearly a decade. The band’s debut album, Americana Radio, finds the guys reimagining the organ trio — an ensemble traditionally seen in jazz music — as a vehicle for lean, mean rock & roll, delivering tracks like “Let’s Rock” and “A Thing For You” with a mix of groove, grit, and Hammond B-3. Recorded to analog tape during two days of live-in-the-studio sessions, Americana Radio introduces a power trio rooted in the 21st century and inspired by the best parts of the past, breathing new life into familiar sounds along the way.
