ARTS Pick: Shakey Graves with Wild Child

The simple, yet soulful sound of Shakey Graves proves that less is more. Sticking to a minimalist philosophy, the group removes all white noise to allow beautiful melodies and cutting lyrics to resonate throughout its music, following in the storytelling footsteps of the folk genre. The group pairs well with Austin’s latest homegrown rock sensation, Wild Child who co-headlines the show.

Thursday 6/19 . $13, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. 977-5590.
