Shakey Graves: Summer 2023

Maymont (Richmond, VA)
08/05/23

Folk artist Shakey Graves performed at the Maymont gardens in Richmond, Virginia at the beginning of August. The sold-out show couldn’t have been in a more beautiful setting, surrounded by flowers and lush greenery. Shakey kicked off the show performing two songs that will be featured on his upcoming full-length album, Movie of the Week: “Ready or Not” and “Evergreen.” The crowd was on picnic blankets and lawn chairs, standing up to dance along to these songs.

Shakey and his band interacted with each other throughout the set, all wearing matching black jumpsuits branded with Shakey Graves logos. His newest full-length album, Movie of the Week, is set to release on September 15th on Dualtone Music Group. He’ll be touring nonstop through the year with bands like flipturn, Sadurn, and at various festivals.
