We also have a limited number of wristbands available with purchase of the album in the store. In person purchases only, please.**
Grammy and Americana-award-winning singer-songwriter and violinist Amanda Shires has pushed the reset button with Take It Like A Man, releasing a record that is so unlike anything she has ever recorded that you would be tempted to think it’s her debut album instead of her seventh. Shires, who also plays in The Highwomen, worked with producer Lawrence Rothman (Angel Olsen, Kim Gordon) to make a fearless confessional, showing the world what turning 40 looks like in 10 emotionally raw tracks. Please join us as we welcome Shires’ new album into the world with an intimate performance in the record shop—it’s going to be a magical experience, so don’t miss out!
IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION! Our parking lot is shared with other rad businesses and it is a finite space, so parking is limited. In addition to our lot, there is an inexpensive paid parking lot behind Elegy Coffee and Mickey's on Gallatin Road that is a short walk from the shop. Please use EXTREME CAUTION if parking on the nearby, narrow neighborhood streets. Too many cars make these roads impassable and result in angry neighbors, the police being called, and cars being towed. (This is no fun at all.) If possible, please consider carpooling, ride-sharing, walking, biking, scooting, roller skating, or taking the bus to come see Amanda Shires perform in the record shop.
*Wristbands are not required for children under 13, when accompanied by someone with a wristband.
