released an album on Rounder Records with a backing band called The Wheel, but despite the
critical success of that and subsequent albums, he was still trying to find the right sound, the
right outlet for what he needed to say.
Those demos eventually developed into the band’s 2015 self-titled debut, which became a
massive hit and pushed them out on the road for two long years. In May 2017, they brought that
same boundless energy to their follow-up. The result is the aptly titled Tearing at the Seams, a
vivacious and inventive full-band record, with significant contributions from all eight members of
The Night Sweats. These songs are grounded in old-school soul and R&B, but are far too urgent
for the retro or revivalist tag. There are familiar elements of soul and garage rock, but
also jazz, folk, and even country.
Shakey Graves
Back in December 2017, Shakey Graves proclaimed on his Twitter page, “Next album. New
sound. Sell your suspenders.” The tweet was tongue-in-cheek, but Alejandro Rose-Garcia, the
Austin native who’s been plying his trade as Shakey Graves since 2007, was making a dead-
serious point about his latest album, Can’t Wake Up. This ambitious, audacious work heralds an
artistic metamorphosis for the 30-year-old veteran, whose risk-taking in painting outside the
lines has been rewarded tenfold. “This record is the most I’ve ever intentionally worked on a
project, musically speaking, in terms of the scope of it and how much thought went into it,” he
says. “It’s a dense album; there’s a lot of information going on”.

About Vail Mountain
Under blue skies more than 300 days each year, Vail is the world’s premier mountain resort. The year-
round alpine experience is exceptional, from the vast terrain and natural grandeur of the surrounding
Gore and Sawatch Ranges to world-class events, shops and spas, and the abundant culinary options and
luxurious accommodations that line the pedestrian-friendly streets of Vail and Lionshead Villages. Vail is
where outdoor pursuits meet village sophistication. Offering more than 5,200 acres of developed ski and
snowboard terrain including seven legendary Back Bowls in winter, and flourishing with new summer
activities after the debut of Epic Discovery in 2016, the options for year-round adventure are endless.
Coupled with the vision inherent in the spirit of Vail’s founders, and an unbreakable commitment to
excellence in all aspects of guest service and operations, Vail is like nothing on earth.
