Make plans to join us in the record shop on Wednesday, October 9th at 4:00 PM for an intimate in-store performance and album signing by Jett Holden! We’ll be celebrating the release of his album The Phoenix, due out October 4th via Black Opry Records. You can preorder the album in the record shop on our site now and score a signing wristband for our event. Wristbands are required to participate in the signing for all 13+ and also guarantee entrance to our event. We will also have copies of The Phoenix available for puchase in the shop on the day of our event. This is a free and all ages shindig, so come one, come all!

Singer-songwriter Jett Holden grew up in a musical family and has been creating music for years, but it’s only been in the last few years that he’s found a welcoming and receptive space in the country music scene. As Holden says “I’m a gay, Black man in country music, and I’m beginning to make strides. The reason for that is that I and the BIPOC and LGBTQ artists I’ve met over the last year are standing beside each other. Black Opry and Country Queer are two organizations I’m working with that I would recommend reaching out to. You’re not alone. And there’s room for more than one of us. “ Now partnering with Black Opry Records, Holden unleashes The Phoenix. According to Holden “the title ‘The Phoenix’ represents the resurrection of my career.” He adds, “when Holly found me, when the Black Opry found me, I had quit music. I was done. This whole process pulled me back into music. Everything feels possible now.” You can read more about his new album and preorder your copy on our site here.

We’re very happy to be able to celebrate the release of The Phoenix with Holden, The Black Opry and Black Opry Records, Thirty Tigers, and all of you! See you soon, Nashville!
