Anniversary is the 2024 studio album from critically acclaimed artist Adeem the Artist. The album was recorded live to tape over five days at The Butcher Shop here in Nashville and was produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Frank Turner). Megan Coleman (Jenny Lewis and Allison Russell), Nelson Williams (Jake Blount), Ellen Angelico (Wheeler Walker Jr.), Jessye DeSilva, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Katie Pruitt and more lend their talents here. This record is the continuation of a project that Adeem began four years ago, directing their attention both inwards & outwards simultaneously and to exact correlating values so that they might be able to unbind the inner workings of themself while imagining new tools for stitching the fabric of society together again.
Walker’s ability to blend sounds from classic to contemporary, commercial to experimental, gives Adeem license to play with a range of musical styles on Anniversary, while still remaining tethered to country and roots music. Fittingly, Anniversary also arrives on the date of Adeem’s marriage to their spouse Hannah, bringing with it a heightened sense of intimacy and urgency from a songwriter whose work is characterized by fearless, incisive lyric writing.
“This one feels a lot more personal and earnest — a lot of it is very close to the chest,” Adeem says. “This record is a marker as well as a collection of individual markers. I’m saying, ‘This is who I am as an artist and this is the world I want to try to help create.’”
Don’t miss this intimate performance in the record shop by Adeem and help us properly celebrate Anniversary! You can preorder you copy of the album on vinyl and CD in the record shop and on our site here. Wristbands are included with local preorders and are available for pick up in the record store with preorder pickup only.
