We’re looking forward to our event with Joan Shelley today and have removed copies of Real Warmth from our website in advance of her event here today. We’ll have copies of the vinyl and CD available for purchase in person in the record store.

We hope you can join us at Grimey’s on Tuesday, September 16th at 4:00 PM for an intimate instore performance and album signing by Joan Shelley! She’s hitting the road in support of her new album and will be visiting some of our favorite record shops along the way—Reckless Records, Luna Music and Guestroom Records. Shelley’s new album, Real Warmth, was recorded in Toronto with producer Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station) and it features many guests from the city's fertile music scene (Tamara Lindenman, Doug Paisley).

Shelley has toured the world with Richard Thompson, Patty Griffin, Wilco and others. She has played Lincoln Center, Newport Folk Festival, appeared on the covers of both Acoustic Guitar Magazine and Fretboard Journal and as a guest on WTF with Marc Maron and Fresh Air. We’re big fans of Shelley’s albums and are thrilled that she’ll be celebrating her new one with us!

You can read more about Real Warmth and preorder a copy on vinyl or CD on our site here. (You can also preorder her album in person the next time you’re in the shop.) All who preorder the album from Grimey’s will receive a wristband for Shelley’s album signing. (Wristbands are required for the signing for all 13+; wristbands also guarantee entrance to our events.) We can’t wait to host Joan Shelley at Grimey’s and hope you’ll be able to join us for this special event!
