About Shakey Graves and the Fondness, Etc. Tour 2026

Shakey Graves -- the stage name of Alejandro Rose-Garcia -- has spent more than a decade carving out a singular space in American roots music. The Austin native first broke through with his 2011 debut Roll the Bones, a self-released folk record built on a guitar and his trademark suitcase kick drum. The album, released for free on Bandcamp and later quietly remastered for streaming, became one of the most enduring indie-folk titles of the 2010s, and the title track is still arguably the most-streamed song in his catalog.

The 2026 Fondness, Etc. Tour supports his fifth studio album of the same name, which arrived May 15, 2026. Reviewers have described the new record as a softer, more reflective turn -- a meditation on parenthood and the slow grain of time -- without sacrificing the rhythmic, percussive backbone fans know him for. Coverage from outlets like Paste and JamBase has lined up behind the tour as one of the more anticipated indie-folk runs of the year.

The U.S. leg launches June 4 at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, a venue with serious western swing history, then runs across the Midwest, South, and East Coast. Highlights include a stop at The Truman in Kansas City on June 5, the Coronado Performing Arts Center in Rockford on June 6, Roxian Theatre near Pittsburgh on June 8, and a slate of summer outdoor shows along the East Coast. Shakey Graves is also slated for festival appearances, including Railbird Festival in Lexington, KY on the weekend of June 6.

From there, the tour heads to Europe in August for a run through Germany, England, Denmark, and the Netherlands -- including dates in Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen -- before wrapping September 3 at the historic Islington Assembly Hall in London. A second North American swing picks up in the fall with stops including Missoula and Bozeman with support from Wild Pink, plus additional dates that continue to roll into the schedule.

Live, Shakey Graves remains one of the more compelling performers working in the folk-rock space. His sets walk a line between intimate solo arrangements and full-band stomp, and the catalog runs deep -- albums like And the War Came, Can't Wake Up, Deadstock, and now Fondness, Etc. all bring their own flavor to the setlist. Veteran fans know the rare-cut deep dives and the loose, sometimes-improvised song endings are a big part of the appeal.
