THIS WEEKEND ONLY! Our friend Shakey Graves is offering up his entire catalog at a "pay what you want" rate for his annual Shakey Graves Day - great time to pick up your favorite SG singles or previous releases. Proceeds go to several non-profits of Shakey's choice!
Howdy Folks,
Happy 7th annual Shakey Graves Day!
For 72 hours, beginning tonight @ 12:01am CST and concluding Sunday, Feb 11 @ 11:59pm CST my entire recorded catalog will be available on www.shakeygraves.bandcamp.com for âpay what you want.â This includes all major releases as well as 14 previous SG Day releases! (Note: All tracks off of the new album titled "Can't Wake Up" will not be available until May 4th but you can get two songs from the forthcoming album beginning at midnight tonight). Half of all the proceeds of these bandcamp downloads will be split among the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians - HAAM and Southern Poverty Law Center. More info on both charities is below.
This year I am thrilled to be premiering "Counting Sheep" and "Kids These Days" off of my upcoming record via âThe Sleep EPâ avail. on Bandcamp (http://bit.ly/2EPpOc4). The full album titled "Canât Wake Upâ (coming out May 4, 2018, on Dualtone ) and "The Sleep EP," are available at the following locations:
Bandcamp - http://bit.ly/2BjoNt9
Spotify - http://spoti.fi/2H0FMAZ
Apple Music - https://apple.co/2siACgr
iTunes - https://apple.co/2BiMuSj

A limited Shakey Graves Day VII shirt (http://bit.ly/2EeDj8o) is also available for 72-hours only during Shakey Graves Day VII. All proceeds of this sale will also go to the two chosen charities as well.
I wish that I could just show you the whole thing right now but hopefully, these tracks will satiate a little bit of the itch and keep you curious until it's fully released on May 4th. But if youâre in Austin for this yearâs SXSW, keep your ears to the ground and your eyes peeled b/c, Meow Wolf and I are going to be up to something very sneaky and if you know where to search, you may just find some mini pots of songs around town and a very special party...
More about the charities Shakey Graves VII proceeds will benefit:
- Health Alliance For Austin Musicians (www.myhaam.org): "We provide access to affordable health care for Austinâs low-income, uninsured working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. Many Austin musicians are self-employed and have no access to health insurance or basic health care. They often work multiple jobs and struggle to pay for food, clothing, and shelter, with nothing left for health care."
- The Southern Poverty Law Center (www.splcenter.org): "The Southern Poverty Law Center is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of our society. Using litigation, education, and other forms of advocacy, the SPLC works toward the day when the ideals of equal justice and equal opportunity will be a reality.â
Whether you make it out to the show or celebrate in a bathrobe by triumphantly not leaving your house, I raise a glass and wish you a truly wonderful SG Day.
Yours Truly,
Alejandro Rose-Garcia
