Shakey Graves Reveals Dates for Extensive North American Fall Tour

Shakey Graves has announced that he’ll be hitting the road this fall on an extensive North American tour. The massive trek, dubbed Movie of The Week Tour, will kick off on September 21 in Phoenix, Arizona, making stops in Nashville, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Chicago before wrapping Indianapolis on November 19.

Joining the tour on select dates will be support acts Rayland Baxter, Flipturn, and Sadurn. Tickets for the shows are on sale Friday, June 30. More info/tickets HERE.

In addition, Shakey Graves released a two-song EP which includes the song “Ready or Not,” featuring Sierra Ferrell, along with a demo of the song.

“This song was written in the mountains with my bandmate Cameron Neal, it was a quiet ballad about a lifetime and we loved it,” Shakey Graves’ Alejandro Rose-Garcia says. “Upon playing it more and more, it kept transforming and we recorded it in as many different ways as we could. In the back of my mind, I was always curious what it would sound like in the style of a fully produced 70’s pop duet, and upon talking to Cameron we both agreed that our recent tour mate Sierra Ferrell would knock it out of the park. As luck would have it, Sierra appeared in Texas for a brief weekend and we recorded her part in a couple hours. Suddenly, there it was, just as I had hoped and better than I had imagined. Ready or not has quickly become my all-consuming way of life.”

Shakey Graves will also be on the road this summer taking part in Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic in Austin, Texas, and more. He will also join Trampled by Turtles and Lucius on select dates with support from Abraham Alexander.
