I love being surprised by good music. My wife and I attended The Bluegrass Situation in early October — a two-day music festival hosted at the theater inside the new ACE Hotel in Downtown LA. Originally having gone to see a few favorite bands (Blind Pilot & Lord Huron), we walked away enjoying the opening act most of all.

Shakey Graves was the standout from the night and I haven’t stopped listening to them since. Listen to the song below and you’ll know why.
