Shakey Graves at Manchester Club Academy

Shakey Graves, the Austin-based musician known for blending blues, folk, country, and rock and roll, brings his one-man-band energy to Manchester Club Academy. His unique setup—a modified suitcase serving as a kick drum and tambourine stand—creates a raw, intimate live experience that has captivated audiences since his early days as a busker for the Railroad Revival Tour.

Support comes from The Man The Myth The Meatslab, a new project by Jamie Clarke. Drawing inspiration from Bon Iver and Japanese Breakfast, TMTMTM delivers folk-infused storytelling, with tracks like 'Home Run' and the debut EP 'The Chronicles of Gerald Womack' recorded on a budget microphone found on eBay.

This is a chance to see a performer who has evolved from solo suitcase shows to a full band, with a career spanning acclaimed albums like 'And the War Came' and 'Can't Wake Up'.
