We’re so pleased to host Cedric Burnside at Grimey’s for an in-store performance & album signing celebrating the release of his new album, Hill Country Love (out April 5th via Provogue Records)! Burnside’s musical odyssey began when he was just 13-years-old, playing drums for his grandfather, the legendary R.L. Burnside. His recording career spans more than a decade and is marked by critical acclaim and artistic growth, with GRAMMY nominations for Descendants of Hill Country and Benton County Relic. Burnside’s artistic versatility is also evident in his film appearances and the portrayal of significant roles, reflecting his multifaceted talent. Following the 2021 release of I Be Trying, Burnside won Best Traditional Blues Album at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards. The recognition solidified his place as not just the progeny of the Hill Country Blues, but also the genre’s torchbearer for the next generation.
His new album, Hill Country Love, stands as a testament to his family’s rich heritage and his innovative approach to music. The album is an intimate portrayal of his life's experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Burnside’s commitment to authenticity shines through each track, offering a modern interpretation of the blues while staying true to its roots.
Due out April 5th, 2024, Hill Country Love is available to preorder now in the record store and on our website here on limited edition LP and CD. All orders placed for local pickup will include a wristband for Burnside’s signing in the record store on Wednesday, April 10th, at 4:00 PM. Wristbands are required for the signing** and guarantee entrance to our event. **Kids 12 & under do not require a wristband if attending with a wristband-holding adult.
IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION!
Our parking lot is shared with other rad businesses and it is a finite space, so parking is limited. Another parking option is the pay lot behind Elegy Coffee and Mickey's off Gallatin Road, two blocks down the street. Please use EXTREME CAUTION if parking on the narrow neighborhood streets. Too many cars make these roads impassable and result in angry neighbors, the police calls, and towing. An officer who lives in the neighborhood across the street and was blocked by event attendees 3 times last year. We don’t want to anger or disrespect any of our neighbors, especially not that one. If you block driveways or park illegally you will be towed.
Please consider carpooling, ride-sharing, walking, biking, scooting, roller skating, or taking the bus to attend this Grimey’s event.
