Americana favorite Shakey Graves is bringing his Fondness, Etc. Tour to Montana in 2026 with concerts at The Wilma in Missoula on Friday, October 23, and The ELM in Bozeman on Saturday, October 24, with support from Wild Pink.
Blending folk, blues, rock, and a bit of outlaw spirit, Shakey Graves (Alejandro Rose-Garcia) has built a reputation for turning one-man-band ingenuity into full-scale, unforgettable live performances. What started with suitcase percussion and raw acoustic storytelling has evolved into a dynamic, genre-bending sound that still carries the grit and charm of his early days.
Breakout tracks like “Dearly Departed” and “Tomorrow” helped introduce his off-kilter songwriting to a wider audience, while newer material like “Ready or Not” (featuring Sierra Ferrell) shows his continued evolution as a songwriter. His brand new album and tour namesake Fondness, Etc. dropped on May 15, and we can’t wait to hear these new songs live.
Shakey has a long history of bringing standout performances to Montana, with past shows frequently selling out.
