According to Stearns History Museum Executive Director Tim Hoheisel, "Shakey Graves" is the real deal. Tim says "Shakey Graves," aka Alejandro Rose Garcia, is an Austin, Texas-based songwriter who brings a Townes Van Zandt, early Springsteen flavor to his gritty low-fi songs. He's also a one man band, playing guitar, a bass drum and other percussion simultaneously. At the Turf Club in St. Paul on Monday, April 14.
