Sadly I never got onboard the Shakey Graves train until finally seeing him perform live last summer at the Newport Folk Festival. I am now riding first class after what I witnessed Alejandro Rose-Garcia do on that hot summer day, and went back for seconds when he came to New York for a large headlining performance at Terminal 5.

He had no problem bringing the show to the venue, with a passionate crowd that was ready to sing along at seemingly on command. I have never seen someone play guitar and use a kick-drum, all while singing, but X Rose-Garcia did just that, and made it look easy. It’s the type of performer he is, able to strike a huge chord emotionally, and make it look like an absolute joy all while doing so.

Find some photos from his performance below along with openers Those Darlins, and The Oh Hellos, who are definitely ones to watch in the future.
