**UPDATE** Due to the current conditions surrounding the coronavirus outbreak, we’ve had to cancel in-store performances in order to maintain a safe space in the store for our customers and staff. We hope to reschedule Caitlyn’s performance here but are unable to announce a new date until we all have a better understanding about the timing and impact of the pandemic. Any purchase of Supernova from Grimey’s does still guarantee a wristband for Caitlyn’s eventual performance & signing in the record shop. We’re happy to mail you your vinyl or CD, please just select the shipping option when checking out. Alternately, purchased albums will be available for local pick-up during our modified store hours. Thanks for your understanding. - 3/18/20

We're very pleased to announce that singer-songwriter Caitlyn Smith will play a free, all ages set at Grimey's in celebration of her new album Supernova! The new album is out March 13th and Caitlyn will join us on Friday, March 20th, at 6PM for a live set in the shop followed by a signing. Here's some info on the new album.

“If a song didn’t give me chills at some point, then I didn’t want to put it on the record,” says Caitlyn Smith. “I wanted to feel and believe every song.” With the 2018 release of her debut album, Starfire, Smith established herself as one of the brightest rising stars in Nashville; her finely etched writing and soulful voice earned her numerous television appearances, festival bookings, and high-profile touring slots. Now, with the follow-up, Supernova, the singer-songwriter who garnered acclaim from Rolling Stone, Billboard, and countless critics has upped the ante, delivering a set of songs that are bigger, bolder, and more powerful sonically and lyrically. “I had years to collect songs for the first album,” says Smith. “This time I was much more focused going in, I had a better idea of what I wanted to create. Being on the road and playing for a lot of different audiences, I gained a good sense of what works live, which contributed a lot to the songs and production choices.” The territory staked out in Supernova represents Smith diving deep into her life and experiences in the last few tumultuous years. “The songs are about being on the road, the highs and lows of marriage, things people around me were going through,” she says.

You can preorder Supernova from Grimey's on vinyl or CD for your wristband to go through the signing line following the performance and get your album autographed. Together with Caitlyn we will be accepting donations for Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee at her in-store performance, which will also be broadcast live by Lightning 100.
