Shakey Graves’ live performance at Roadrunner in Boston was nothing short of a sonic revelation, an electrifying journey through the soulful intersection of folk, blues, and rock. The venue pulsed with energy as Shakey Graves. His raw, gravelly vocals soared through the air, weaving tales of heartbreak, resilience, and wanderlust. Backed by a phenomenal band, the performance was at once an intimate affair with a genuine rock vibe.
Shakey Graves was poignant and sincere while playing but in between songs he joked and related to the crowd. He alerted the venue that there was a theme for the night and then midset asked if the crowd had guessed the theme. People tossed out guesses, but the game ended when someone from the audience yelled out, “David Lee Roth.” Shakey Graves laughed and agreed leaving us to wonder whether or not that was the actual theme. All this to say, he has a dynamic stage presence and genuine charisma showcasing himself as a captivating storyteller, effortlessly inviting the crowd into his musical world.
The concert was a masterclass in genre-blurring brilliance, leaving an indelible mark on all fortunate enough to witness this spellbinding performance.
