We’re super excited to host Medium Build at Grimey’s on Saturday, September 5th, to celebrate the release of King of Having Fun! His new album drops Friday, 9/4, and he’ll be heading to the record shop the next day for a special noontime instore performance & record signing.

Wristbands are required to participate in the signing for all 13+ and they guarantee your entrance to the event. (Kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with wristband-holding adults.) You can read more about the new Medium Build album and place your preorder on our site here.

Nick Carpenter was raised in an evangelical household in Georgia and learned at an early age how to both perform and to be performative. He credits the birth of Medium Build to two significant personal heartbreaks: once as an aspiring Christian at the hands of the Church, and once by the music industry as a member of an indie rock band called, fittingly, Little Moses.

“Most of my upbringing was spent learning how to perform the act of existence,” he says. “Being a good boy at church or school was how you got ahead, so the church was a place for me to perform this sort of existence to earn praise and perks. But when I found out how fucked up its inner workings are, the church dream died. And my experience in Nashville for music was very similar. So, Medium Build was created to be a place where no one could ever take anything from me. It was born from a kill-all-accessibility perspective: Say the darkest, nastiest thought you're otherwise afraid to say; don't filter — all the shit you weren't allowed to say at church, say it here. I just wanted a place where I could be ugly.”

Having tried his hand in a few different Southern music hubs, Carpenter took advantage of an opportunity to restart as far away from home as possible and moved in with his older brother in Anchorage, Alaska, in 2018, where he continued writing stripped-down, angsty, and wry songs under the Medium Build name. Adding guitar and vocals to beats or loops, Carpenter let the raw, emotional texture of his voice shine, and when paired with the evocative, heartrendingly real nature and relatability of his lyrics, a winning formula emerged. Recruiting a production-savvy friend to help him record and engineer, the output retained a strong DIY sensibility while revealing itself clearly capable of reaching a larger audience. Galvanized by that performative religious background, early Medium Build shows were communal, life-affirming affairs, and their spectacle spread via social media and word of mouth.
steady grip of EPs, full-lengths, and singles over the next five years culminated with a slowplay/Island Records deal, bigger tours ,and a move to Nashville in 2023, followed by the 2024 LP Country.

In the time that passed Carpenter struggled with alcohol and sobriety and with success and notoriety. In his search for authenticity he wrote the songs that would become King of Having Fun. Carpenter booked a studio for two weeks, and assembled his collaborative dream team — Paul Rogers, the musical director; Jimmy Mansfield, the engineer; and Jake LiBassi, the atmospheric moodmaker — to lock in and steer the creative process. They often reverse-engineered from the perspective of playing the songs live in bigger rooms and arenas at the objective forefront, and added upbeat tempos, guitar solos, singalongs, and more with those specific, future rock and roll moments in mind. And yet despite the dark subject matter hanging over much of it all, Carpenter’s lyrics also poke and prod at the gloaming, revealing a newfound maturity and rediscovered zest.

We’re really happy to be able to welcome Medium Build back to Grimey’s for an intimate performance of songs from his new record. We hope you’ll come out for the occasion! You can place a preorder for King of Having Fun in the record store or on our webstore here. See you soon, Nashville!

Little Big Town will be hanging in the shop with us, signing copies of their new album and meeting fans.

Little Big Town—composed of Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman, and Jimi Westbrook—are one of country music’s most enduring and celebrated groups. Over a 25-year career, the GRAMMY, ACM, CMA, AMA, and Emmy Award-winning band has delivered a string of genre-defining hits including “Boondocks,” “Pontoon,” “Tornado,” “Day Drinking,” and the history-making, best-selling country single of 2015, “Girl Crush.”

Their acclaimed albums Tornado, PainKiller, The Breaker (which debuted at No. 1 and featured the GRAMMY-winning “Better Man”), Nightfall, and Mr. Sun have produced multiple No. 1 singles and earned widespread critical praise. The band recently unveiled their next chapter with their forthcoming 12th studio album It's A Dying Art, arriving August 28 via MCA. Co-produced by Little Big Town’s own Karen Fairchild and two-time GRAMMY winner Gena Johnson, the project blends intimate storytelling, emotional balladry, and a focus on human-made music shaped by imperfection and lived experience. The band first previewed the project with the poignant “Hey There Sunshine,” which debuted at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards to widespread acclaim, with The Tennessean calling it “a hopeful, healing moment” and Billboard praising it as “a timely message from one of country music’s greatest vocal groups.” They followed with “Over and Over,” which Billboard hailed as a “top-shelf post-breakup anthem,” “Sucker For A Sad Song” featuring Ashley Monroe, which Rolling Stone declared a “song you need to know,” and the piano-driven ballad, “We Could Have It All.” The band’s most recent offering “Closing Time” is a flirtatious duet with Kelsea Ballerini, that celebrates living in the moment as last call turns into a night that's too good to end. Additional standout tracks include the relationship-worn “The Door” featuring Jason Isbell, the fiery “It’s Coming Around,” and the visceral “The Idea.” In support of the new album, they will embark on their North American headline For The Art Of It Tour, kicking off in September. Don’t miss them when they headline The Ryman Auditorium December 8th - 10th. Tickets are available to these shows via The Ryman now.

To date, Little Big Town has amassed more than 45 major award nominations and taken home over 20 wins across GRAMMYs, CMAs, ACMs, AMAs, People’s Choice Awards, and an Emmy. With the upcoming release of It’s A Dying Art, Little Big Town continues to build on a legacy as one of country music’s most respected and influential groups.

We’re stoked to celebrate It’s a Dying Art with Little Big Town and all of you!!! Lock in your preorder in the record shop or on our site here now and be here August 28th. See you soon, Music City!

We hope you can be here on Friday, August 21st at 4:00 PM for a special early release celebration of Alicia’s Witt’s 8th studio album! She’ll be hanging out with us that day for an exciting Q&A moderated by transcendental meditation teacher Donielle Freeberg, of the David Lynch Foundation, plus Witt will be performing and signing copies of her new album, all one week before the official release of Between Heaven & Earth (due out August 28th via Thirty Tigers). You can preorder the new album in the shop or on our website here, for event pickup or you can just grab a copy when you’re here that day. Either way, be here on August 21st to learn more about Witt & her creative process, plus this is your chance to ask two people in the know about late filmmaker David Lynch. After Witt’s Q&A and short performance, she’ll be signing copies of her new album for attendees. This is gonna be a fun time, we hope to see you all here!

Some people change your life in every way that a life can be changed. David Lynch is one of those people. 

When Alicia Witt first worked with him at age 7 in his classic Dune (1984) she had no idea what he meant to anyone as a filmmaker, nor that she would work with him 3 more times over the course of his life and that he would become one of her greatest influences. She only knew that she had found a kindred spirit and that she loved him. 

Between Heaven & Earth is a tribute to his energy, his legacy, and most of all, his love. When Alicia attended his memorial gathering shortly after his passing in 2025, she was struck by the depth of the relationships in that space. The knowing that if you were loved by David, you stayed loved. As those in the room spoke of their shared experience that David was still among them - directing from beyond - Alicia became ever more aware that she was being encouraged to create an album from this space of eternal unconditional love.

“Use my name,” David whispered. And so it was.

Produced by renowned producer and singer-songwriter Joe Henry (Emmylou Harris; Milk Carton Kids; Bonnie Raitt; Rodney Crowell), Between Heaven & Earth was recorded live in studio in 5 days in New York City in January 2026. Alicia Witt on piano and vocals, accompanied by a band of 5 musicians, take you on a sonic journey that could never be recreated, channeling the energy that was brought together in this moment to honor the immeasurable effect that David Lynch had and still has on the world. He was palpably present in every moment of the making of this album. Between Heaven & Earth takes the listener on a journey to a place where only love is real, hanging suspended amongst the fragments of the day to day life we can see and touch - and another timeline just beyond this one.

Witt has been acting since her debut in David Lynch’s Dune at age 7. She’s spent 4 decades in front of the camera, most recently in 2024’s Longlegs, opposite Nicolas Cage. Her many credits include the films Two Weeks Notice, Mr. Holland’s Opus, and Urban Legend, as well as the television series Orange Is The New Black, The Sopranos, Justified, plus many more. A classically trained pianist, Alicia has been releasing original music since 2009 and has played all around the world.

Joining Witt for a conversation about her new album is Donielle Freeburg. For the first 10 years of her teaching career, Donielle worked with the David Lynch Foundation where she taught Transcendental Meditation (TM) to students, survivors of domestic violence, corporate executives, military veterans, and first responders. She is currently Co-Director of the Nashville TM Center and serves as the Regional Director for the Southeast and Central United States TM Program. She is also the co-host of a podcast called 'The Inner Well', which will be launching in the new year.

We’re excited to host Alicia Witt and Donielle Freeburg at Grimey’s and look forward to celebrating the release of Between Heaven & Earth with her and all of you. See you soon, Nashville!

We hope you’ll join us on Wednesday, August 19th at 4:00 PM as we welcome Lindsay Lou back to the record store! That afternoon we’ll be celebrating Lindsay’s new album, Bluegrass Women, with an intimate instore performance & album signing.

Lindsay Lou is commonly dubbed the Queen of any festivals she plays. You’re likely to see her sitting in with other bands and curating All Stars sets in addition to playing her own music. Her roots are in Michigan, where she started making records, including the artist defining Ionia, and touring worldwide with The Flatbellys and The Sweet Water Warblers. Since making Nashville her home, she’s toured with her folk/rock Queen of Time Band and acoustic/harmony driven Honey Moon Trio and has released records like Southland, Queen of Time, and soon she’ll release Bluegrass Women, a ten song album of Bluegrass classics that were penned by women over the course of the genre’s history. The Bluegrass Women project honors women in a predominantly male fronted genre while featuring bands made up entirely of some of the best women and pickers in the scene today. She’s a bringer-together-of-people and a purveyor of buttery, sweet, meaningful experience. In whatever ensemble she chooses to deliver her sound, you hear the common thread of her love for traditional music and authentic new songs inspired by it.

We can’t wait to host Linsday and her band in the shop and hear them perform songs from Bluegrass Women. Make sure you’re here for the occasion too—lock in your Bluegrass Women preorder on our site here or in the record store today. See you soon, Music City!

We’re excited to host Judah & the Lion at Grimey’s and have removed copies of I Am a Prism from our website in advance of their event here today. We’ll have copies of the vinyl and CD available for purchase in person in the record store.

We’re excited to share that on Tuesday, August 18th at 4PM we will host Judah & the Lion at Grimey’s for a special in-store event! We’ll be celebrating JATL’s new album, I Am a Prism (Dualtone Records), with a special instore performance & album signing. All who preorder their new album through Grimey’s will receive a wristband for the band’s post-performance signing. You can place your preorder for I Am a Prism on limited edition translucent blue vinyl LP or CD in person at Grimey’s and on our website here. Wristbands are required to participate in our signing for all 13+. Wristbands also guarantee your entrance to this event. (Kids 12 & under don’t need a wristband if attending with a wristband-holding adult.)

In 2011 Judah Akers and Brian MacdDonald became bandmates while attending college in Nashville at Belmont University. Their group, Judah & the Lion, went on to release the 2016 breakout album, Folk Hop n Roll, which launched them on their musical journey. Since then they’ve released a total of (soon-to-be) six albums, they’ve performed on Kimmel Live! and Good Morning America, and they’ve toured across the world and back home again (their next proper show in Nashville is at The Pinnacle on November 13th.)

Judah & The Lion’s newest album, I Am a Prism, came after a period of soul searching, and in the midst of a welcome joyous new life milestone: Brian becoming a father again. The last three albums had documented some personally heavy topics - mental health and depression (2019’s Pep Talks), heartbreak and divorce (2022’s Revival), and charting the stages of grief (2024’s The Process). On the other side of this trilogy of hard times and heartbreak, Judah & The Lion was at a creative crossroads. They took some time off, parted ways with their management, and asked themselves some tough but necessary questions. Out of this time came I Am a Prism —a celebration of the full spectrum of life, dark and light.

We can’t wait to have Judah & the Lion back in the shop and hear them perform songs from I Am a Prism. Make sure you’re here to celebrate with us—you can preorder their new album on our site here or in the record store now. Looking forward to seeing y’all soon!

We’ve removed copies of Over Before You Know It from our website in advance of the event here today, but we’ll have copies of the vinyl and CD available for purchase in person in the record store!

We’re super excited to host Michigander at Grimey’s on Friday, July 31st, to celebrate the release of the new album Over Before You Know It! His album drops that day and he’ll be heading to the record shop for an instore performance & record signing. All who preorder the album in advance from Grimey’s will receive a wristband for Michigander’s post-performance album signing. Wristbands are required to participate in the signing for all 13+ and they also guarantee your entrance to the event. (Kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with wristband-holding adults.) You can read more about the new album and place your preorder on our site here.

Michigander is the acclaimed indie rock project led by Nashville-based singer-songwriter/multi- instrumentalist Jason Singer. Singer thought his 2025 full-length debut as Michigander would change everything about his life and work. During the prior decade, after all, Singer had cobbled together the start of a successful career as an incisive and infectious songwriter from the stuff the music industry considers scraps—a half-dozen singles and a quartet of EPs, collectively suggesting he was one of indie rock’s sharpest new tunesmiths. The debut album Michigander felt only like the upper lip of the plateau Singer had been climbing for a decade already. So what, he wondered, was he supposed to do now? The answer that came back was obvious: Keep writing.

Over Before You Know It is the magnetic and relatable result of that work and the broad but detailed view from the top of that plateau. Across 10 songs written and recorded quickly with a crew of close friends at home in Nashville, Singer mixes self-criticism with music industry sendups, sad-eyed contemplations with unguarded love songs, offering up the things that almost stopped him and those that now keep him going with a rare admixture of candor and catchiness. This, it turns out, is the level up.

Above all, it is all a vehicle for Singer to think about becoming the person he still wants to be, for being grateful enough for what he already has to keep going. To be there is to be human. It’s not necessarily about being content but at least about not breaking your back or brain over the things you have yet to accomplish. Sure, it’s over before you know it. But it’s over a lot faster, Singer has now realized, if you don’t take time to enjoy whatever it actually is.

We love Jason and are so happy to be able to celebrate the new Michigander record with him and all of you! We hope you’ll be able to make it to the shop to join us for this happy occasion. You can lock in your preorder for Over Before You Know It next time you’re in the record shop or on our site here now.

We can’t wait to host Styrofoam Winos at Grimey’s for a special record release celebration! The band is out on the road now and their travels will bring them back to Music City on Thursday, July 23rd when they’ll play a short set of songs from their new album and sign copies of the album for attendees. This is gonna be such a fun time, don’t sleep on this y’all. Our event with Styrofoam Winos is free & all ages, so come one, come all!

A decade ago, three employees of JJ’s Market and Cafe became Styrofoam Winos. Lou Turner, Trevor Nikrant, and Joe Kenkel bonded over their mutual adoration for Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, and dollar bin country records. They amplified each other’s enthusiasm, freaking out over every new song they came across. After a friend moved and left behind a drum set, all three Winos learned to play the drums. Early experiments in group songwriting were born from jam sessions and erasure poetry, blacking out words in old books to generate new poems. They all sang lead and swapped instruments regularly. Seeing Michael Hurley for the first time left a lasting impression and provided the band with one of its creative north stars. Years later, Snock himself would send the Winos his blessing to release their cassette of covers of his songs. 

Styrofoam Winos have always gone with the flow, which makes Any River an apt title for their new album, the follow-up to 2024's Real Time. Their playful approach is bolstered by the chops of seasoned musicians who have performed many hundreds of concerts, both together and as touring members of Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band, MJ Lenderman and the Wind, and as solo artists. This is one of their key strengths that can’t be overstated: they are extremely good musicians! When three talented people develop such a deep level of chemistry, the result is nothing short of majestic. Each song on Any River came out of jam sessions at Turner and Nikrant’s home studio, and a shared Google doc of lyrics soon followed. They recorded in Louisville—their first album made outside of Nashville—with Roadhouse bandmate and Equipment Pointed Ankh mastermind Jim Marlowe. Marlowe’s understated production kept the band’s unique synergy on full display. He also proved invaluable when it came to bringing their wackiest ideas to life, exemplified by the very committed use of talkbox on a few tracks. 

You can preorder Any River on vinyl and CD on our site here. Hope to see you soon, Nashville!

Copies of Grace Abram’s new album will be available for purchase on limited edition blue vinyl LP and on CD.

GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams is back her third studio album, Daughter from Hell, due out July 17th via Interscope Records. The album was written and produced by Gracie alongside longtime collaborator Aaron Dessner. Daughter from Hell marks a new chapter for Gracie following her sophomore album, The Secret of Us, released in June 2024. That album earned Gracie her first ever #1 in the UK, Australia and the Netherlands and debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. Beyond music, Abrams has kept busy and is set to make her acting debut in the upcoming A24 film Please, directed by Halina Reijn. Since making her debut in 2019, Gracie Abrams has emerged as one of the most compelling singer-songwriters of her generation.

On July 8th, we’ll be joining other record stores across the globe to celebrate the new album by local musician & record label / record store proprietor Jack White! We’re keeping the shop open a bit late and holding a special early-access Frozen Charlotte listening party starting at 6:00 PM.

This is an all ages shindig and admission is free. See you soon, Nashville!!

Head to the record shop on Wednesday, July 8th to catch Drivin N Cryin perform on their Crushing Flowers Tour! They’ll be playing songs from their new album and signing records for attendees. This is a free & all ages affair, so come one, come all!

Nearly forty years in, Drivin N Cryin remains a living, breathing American rock band — not a revival act, not a footnote, but a continuing story still being written. Blending Southern rock grit, folk storytelling, and hard-charging rock n’ roll, the band built a reputation early on as a must-see live act and a songwriter’s band with depth far beyond trends. Coming from the same golden era of college radio rock that birthed fellow Georgia bands R.E.M., Indigo Girls, Black Crowes and more, the band and their frontman Kevn Kinney — a songwriter’s songwriter — still have plenty to say. 

Crushing Flowers was produced by sometime DNC guitarist Sadler Vaden (Jason Isbell) and features soaring guitars and harmonies, orchestral flourishes and the honest, “we’re all just humans here” lyrics of Kinney. Guests include R.E.M.’s Peter Buck and (what may be the last studio appearance) of the late Todd Snider. The album is available on vinyl & CD in the record shop now!

Make plans to join us in the record shop on Tuesday, July 7th for a special Panda Bear + Sonic Boom Listening Party! We’ll be spinning their new album, A ? of WHEN, a few days early and sharing party favors with attendees while supplies last. We’ll also be distributing raffle tickets to attendees for a sweet PB+SB prize (There is no cost to participate—raffle tickets are free to attendees but limited to one per person. Must be present to win.) We’ll also be selling A ? of WHEN a few days early! If you preorder your album on our site here, you can pick it up at our event, and if not we’ll have copies of the album on colored vinyl and CD, plus we’ll even have a couple of copies of the new album on tape! (Cassettes will be limited to one per person and are available on a first come, first served basis.)

We hope you can join us at Grimey’s on Thursday, July 2nd for a special early record release event with Allison Russell! In The Hour Of Chaos, Allison’s third full-length album, will officially be released by Fantasy Records on July 10th, however we’ll be welcoming Allison and her band to the shop more than a week early to celebrate the new album. At 4:00 PM on 7/2, Allison will perform a short set comprised of songs from the new record and sign copies of In The Hour Of Chaos for event attendees. You can read more about her new album and preorder your copy on our site here (or the next time you’re in the shop). All who preorder the album on limited edition Aubergine colored vinyl or CD from Grimey’s will receive a wristband for Allison’s post-performance signing. Allison is a delightful & talented person—she’s a wonderful musician and a valued member of our community. We love her and are so excited to be able to host her at Grimey’s and celebrate her beautiful new album.

In the Hour of Chaos is a fervent plea for connection in this time of alienation, isolation and dread. These are songs meant to reverse the tides that pull us farther and farther apart, even from ones we love the most. This is a record meant to make you feel GOOD, and, in these times, feeling good is a radical act. It’s only fitting then, that Russell leaned into her vibrant and ever expanding community of artists and friends to create a collaborative song suite that goes far beyond a succession of features.

The songs unfold like a series of one act plays with Allison, who joins with an artist(s) from her rainbow diaspora, many from her adopted home in Nashville. Tactile, vulnerable, raw, soothing, sensual, sad–each is a little capsule of humans being fully human and fully present. From the quiet reckoning of “No Springtime,” featuring Joy Oladokun and Julie Williams, to the bittersweet glow of “Cold April,” where Kara Jackson—a recent collaborator of the Gorillaz and formerly the U.S. National Youth Poet Laureate—joins Denitia, a CMT Next Women of Country selection who was also featured in Dolly Parton’sThreads: My Songs in Symphony, alongsideRussell’s daughter and Ida’s Explore! Pop Choir adds intergenerational depth. Allison Russell curates her collaborators with care:Brittney Spencer’s earthy soul on “Black Lavender,” NorahJones’ intimate ease on “Really Real,” Ruby Amanfu’s vulnerable grace on “Just Like Saturday”–all serve as portals into our flawed, fantastic, interconnected lives.

Elsewhere on the album, Devon Gilfillian brings effortless warmth to “Love is a Golden Lion,” Kashus Culpepper lends grit and swagger to “Searchlight,” Chibueze Ihuoma adds an other worldly tenderness to “Two Stars,” and Ahya Simone’s incomparable harp closes the circle with the haunting “Good Omens.” Across these songs, Russell holds the center effortlessly, while illuminating the voices of her chosen family. She turns these through lines into golden thread, strengthening as she weaves, the only protection she knows against the chaos of this hour.

We are pumped to celebrate Allison’s new album with her and all of you. Preoreder your copy of In The Hour Of Chaos now and be here for the festivities on July 2nd! See you soon, Music City.

On June 25, 1967, The Beatles performed All You Need Is Love for the first time to a global television audience from Abbey Road Studios and on Thursday, June 25, 2026 we’ll be celebrating that moment and all that The Beatles and their message of LOVE mean to us. Many of us cut our musical teeth on Beatles albums and now, as we spend time in the record shop, we have the pleasure of seeing folks on a daily basis who are connecting with the band, whether its those who are picking up their very first Beatles album or more established fans digging deep into an expanded reissue of a solo album.

Held annually on June 25, Global Beatles Day is built around the message All You Need Is Love. The holiday was first celebrated in 2009 by Indianapolis-based fan Faith Cohen. Over the past seventeen years, this day of celebration has grown organically across dozens of countries, rooted in the belief that The Beatles' enduring legacy is helping people appreciate being alive and bringing people together through music, love, and positivity. 2026 marks the first year that Apple Corps has officially supported Global Beatles Day and they’re hosting their own celebration in Liverpool that day, which will include the founder, Faith, in attendance. We’ll be celebrating at Grimey’s all day, spinning our favorite Beatles albums and sharing sweet Global Beatles Day goodies with folks who come by (while supplies last; free goodies are available on a first come, first served basis and are limited to one per item, per person). We’ll also be launching a contest for a pair of tickets to The Basement East’s upcoming event The Music of George Harrison: From the Beatles to the Solo Years, on Thursday, July 9th. (Contest registry is free and available in person only. Our winner will be notified by phone on Friday, July 3rd.)

We’ll be joined by Red Clay Strays the day their new record drops for an exclusive vinyl signing.

Make plans to join us in the record shop for a special Kip Moore Reason to Believe record release celebration! We’ll be welcoming Kip back to Grimey’s on Tuesday, June 2nd at 4:00 PM for a Q&A with Marissa Moss and an album signing. He’ll be signing copies of his new album for attendees as well as answering questions provided by fans. All who preorder his new record from our site here will receive a wristband for our album signing. Wristbands will be distributed with preorder pickup and are required to participate in the signing for anyone 13 and older. (*Kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with wristband-holding adults.)

On Reason To Believe Kip Moore sings about grief, faith and the weight of time–documenting a man standing still long enough to hear himself think. While recording the album, Kip lost his mentor, champion, first producer and songwriter Brett James. He even named the album after a song James loved that Kip wrote years ago alongside longtime collaborator Dan Couch and Scott Stepakoff. He produced the entirety of the album with DeRoberts, marking the first time he worked with the lauded producer. DeRoberts brought a sonic philosophy Kip hadn’t explored as deeply before: space over volume. The process pushed him into a place where he let passion and familiarity guide him, as he did in his early career working alongside James .The result is an album that feels career-spanning with upbeat rockers meant for the crowd, vulnerable meditations on hardship meant for quiet and other songs that are meant to be lifelines by giving the listener a sense of comfort.

Reason to Believe is officially out on Friday, May 29th via Virgin Music and will be for sale in the shop starting that date, however to attend our event you’ll want to lock in a preorder for a CD or vinyl on our site here now.

Our event with Kip Moore is an in-person, Q&A and record signing only. We’d love to collect questions for our Q&A with Kip in advance. Please email your questions to us (here: grimeys.records@gmail.com) using the subject line “Kip Moore Questions”. Please do not bring photos, posters, gear or merch to this signing event. Kip will sign as many as four (4) albums (records & CDs) per person. Due to time limitations photos will be limited to those taken from the sidelines and signing line; no selfies or staged photos please. Wristbands are required* to participate in this signing experience.

We’re stoked to host Kip at Grimey’s again and can’t wait to hear all about the process by which Reason To Believe came to be. Make sure to lock in your preorder for the album now so you can reserve a wristband for our event. And before heading over, check out our parking tips on our website here!

*We’re excited to host Aaron at Grimey’s and have removed copies of Get Over It, Underdog from our website in advance of his event here today. We’ll have copies of the vinyl and CD available for purchase in person in the record store.*

Join us at Grimey’s on Friday, May 29th at 5:00 PM for an intimate in-store performance & album signing by Aaron Lee Tasjan as we celebrate the release of his new album, Get Over It, Underdog! All who preorder the new record from Grimey’s will receive a wristband for Tasjan’s album signing, which will immediately follow his performance in the shop. You can preorder Get Over It, Underdog in the record store or on our site here. Copies on turquoise colored vinyl and CD will be also be available for purchase in the shop the day of the event with Tasjan.

Aaron Lee Tasjan was experiencing the worst bout of imposter syndrome of his career when he sat down and wrote Todd Snider a vulnerable email asking for advice. Tasjan, despite writing and recording some of the most astute Americana rock songs of the last decade and being nominated for a Grammy, just didn’t see a future for an independent singer, songwriter, and guitarist like himself. Snider read Tasjan’s email and immediately replied: “I think I have some ideas. I’ll write you back tomorrow.”

The next morning, Tasjan awoke to a signature Todd Snider missive for how to move forward as an artist. It was a novel-length email that read like the battle plans for the Invasion of Normandy. Do this, Snider wrote. Then this. But never that. The specifics don’t matter — besides, that’d be giving away the secret — but Tasjan devoured his mentor’s words and took them to heart.

He began writing feverishly, unbothered by expectations and immune to any pressure to match his acclaimed albums like In the Blazes, Karma for Cheap, or his most recent 2024’s Stellar Evolution. When he was through, Tasjan had Get Over It, Underdog, his most inspiring LP to date. Produced by Tasjan and his longtime sound engineer Mark Miller, the album is a celebration of the power of songwriting, the unbreakable bond of friendship, and the determination of the dark horse. We’re pumped to host Tasjan at Grimey’s for the release of Get Over It, Underdog and hope you can join us for this happy occasion.

*We’re looking forward to hosting Ben Chapman at Grimey’s and have removed copies of Feet on Fire from our website in advance of his event here today. We’ll have copies of the vinyl and CD available for purchase in person in the record store.*

We hope you’ll be able to join us in the record shop on Thursday, May 21st at 4:00 PM for an intimate instore performance & album signing by Ben Chapman! We’ll be hanging with Ben and celebrating the release of his album Feet On Fire a little early. Though not due out until Friday, May 22nd, we’ll have copies of Feet On Fire on vinyl and CD available at our event with Ben on the 21st. You can read more about the album and preorder your copy in the record store and on our webstore now. All who preorder the album for local, event pickup will receive a wristband for Ben’s post-performance signing. Wristbands are required to participate in our signing for all 13+ and they also guarantee entrance to our event. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband if attending with a wristband-holding adult.)

Ben Chapman is a road warrior who has  spent the previous three years in a whirlwind of activity — writing songs for friends like Hayes Carll, Brent Cobb, and Marcus King; making his Grand Ole Opry debut; and releasing three acclaimed albums of country-fried funky-tonk, but nothing could have prepared him for what 2025 would bring him. His brand new record Feet on Fire captures that period of wild transition, with songs inspired by Chapman's marriage to fellow songwriter Meg McRee and the arrival of the couple's first child. On songs such as the guitar-driven title track, Chapman mixes Pink Floyd atmosphere with Crazy Horse crunch, showcasing the full spread of his musical influences. Elsewhere on the album, he tips his hat to his Southern roots with the laidback, loping "Out in the Country" and the Stax-sized soul ballad "Missing You." Produced by Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Anderson East, Feet on Fire captures Ben Chapman as we've never heard him before: his back against the wall and his heart full, determined not only to meet the challenges up ahead, but to write about the process, too.

We can’t wait to celebrate Feet On Fire with Ben, his team at Soundly / Thirty Tigers and all of you! See you soon, Music City!

*We’re excited to host Jobi at Grimey’s and have removed copies of Face the Feeling from our website in advance of their event here today. We’ll have copies of the vinyl and CD available for purchase in person in the record store.*

We hope you can be here on Friday, May 15th at 5:00 PM for an intimate in-store performance & album signing by Jobi Riccio to celebrate the release of Face the Feeling, out that day via Yep Roc Records! Jobi will be performing a short set and then hanging out and signing copies of their new album for attendees. You can preorder Face the Feeling on limited edition black & white splash color vinyl and CD on our site here. All who preorder the album from Grimey’s in advance of our event will receive a wristband for Riccio’s post-performance album signing*. Wristbands are required to participate in the signing and guarantee entrance to our event. (*Kids 12 & under do not require a wristband when attending with a wristband-holding adult).

Jobi Riccio knows that while a quiet heart-to-heart can solve many problems, sometimes the heart needs a giant, all-caps billboard, especially when the world around that massive sign gets louder by the day. As each new track on her new album Face the Feeling unveils, Riccio faces another inescapable emotion as if it were a billboard screaming into view as she hurtles down the highway. And rather than turn away from their challenge, Riccio faces those uncomfortable moments with the thrill of self-discovery, reveling in growth and change as facts of life.

We’re pumped to be able to celebrate Face the Feeling with Jobi and hope you can be here for this happy occasion! See you soon, Music City!

Led by singer-songwriter Isaac Gibson alongside Bus Shelton (lead guitar), Chase Chafin (bass), Noah Patrick (pedal steel), Tim Hall (keys), and Justin Louthian (drums), 49 Winchester channels the grit, heart, and humor of Appalachia in every song. The band’s new album, Change of Plans, is produced by Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb. It finds the band crafting new music that expands their sound while staying true to their working-class roots.

We can’t wait to hang with these guys and celebrate Change of Plans with them and all of you. Make sure you don’t miss your chance to be here for the band’s special performance by securing your album and a spot in the room with a wristband now. See you soon, Music City!

4/17 Update: Our Amy Grant Preorder + Wristband is now SOLD OUT! Sorry these went fast, but congrats to all who were able to place preorders and will be joining us for our event with Ms. Grant on May 9th. We will have copies of The Me That Remains available for in-store purchase beginning on release date, Friday, May 8th, however we will not be offering any additional wristbands with purchase. Thanks for understanding. - Grimey’s mgmt.

We are thrilled to welcome Amy Grant to Grimey’s on Saturday, May 9th! We’ll be celebrating the release of her new album, The Me That Remains, with an intimate performance by Grant to be followed by an album signing. You can preorder your copy of her new album on vinyl or CD in the record store or on our webstore—all who do will receive a wristband with their preorder. Wristbands are required for the album signing* and guarantee your entrance to our event. (*Kids 12 & under don’t require a wristband if attending with a wristband-holding adult.) The signing portion of our event is an album signing only where Grant will sign her new release as well as copies of her previous albums (vinyl, CDs, tapes!), with a limit of up to three total albums signed per individual. You can read more about her new record and place your preorder now on our site here.

Amy Grant’s new album, The Me That Remains was produced by ten-time CMA Award winner and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer Mac McAnally. The project marks Grant’s first collection of all-original songs in 13 years. Grant, a local Nashvillian, is a six-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 2022 Kennedy Center Honoree.

Leaning fully into her strengths as a songwriter, The Me That Remains finds Grant taking a clear-eyed look at where she stands personally, spiritually, and creatively today. Across its ten tracks, the album reflects on healing, connection, endurance, and grace, shaped by the life experience of a beloved musician now more than 50 years into a groundbreaking career. First previewed with “The 6th of January (Yasgur’s Farm),” a meditation on unity and perspective inspired by the idealism of the Woodstock era, the album signals a more stripped-down, singer-songwriter approach that defines the project as a whole.

Throughout the album, McAnally’s understated production allows Grant’s voice - warm and resolute - to take center stage. Songs like “How Do We Get There From Here” (feat. Ruby Amanfu) wrestle with collective healing; “The Saint,” co-written with longtime collaborator Michael W. Smith, offers a portrait of redemption; while collaborations with Vince Gill, Sarah Cannon, and Corrina Gill reflect the personal and musical relationships that have shaped her life.

We’re super excited to be able to celebrate The Me That Remains the day after it’s released and the day after Grant’s headlining set at The Ryman Auditorium. Make sure you’re able to be here with us for this special occasion—you can secure your copy of her new album + a wristband for her signing on our site here or in the record store, while supplies last. (Wristbands are required for the signing for all 13+ and they guarantee your spot in the shop for her performance too.) Can’t wait to see you soon, Nashville!
