Mister Romantic Grimey’s Signing - photo by Vincent Campman
We hope you can join us on Thursday, September 11th at 4:00 PM for a special album signing in the record shop with musician and actor, John C. Reilly! Reilly will be in Nashville for the Americana Music Association’s annual AmericanaFest conference and music festival and for a concert at the Franklin Theatre (he’ll be performing on Tuesday, 9/9 and tickets are available now via their site here.) We’re thrilled to host Reilly and celebrate his latest musical endeavor—MISTER ROMANTIC!
Mister Romantic, one of Reilly’s most personal and intimate projects to date, is a vaudeville show that has garnered critical acclaim and captured the public’s imagination. The New York Times calls the show "wryly funny, sometimes tender and sad, but always sincere" and Vanity Fair calls it “fiercely funny.” Hailed by Theaterly as one of the best performances of 2024 following a one-night show in New York, “Mister Romantic" marks a new chapter in Reilly’s career. This summer the music from Mister Romantic was committed to disc and released as a blue marble vinyl and a CD via Reilly’s own Eternal Magic Recordings. You can order a copy of the album in the record store or on our site here now for a wristband to participate in our album signing. Wristbands are required for all 13+ (kids 12 & under are free with a wristband-holding adult. Space for our event is limited, so don’t sleep on this one!! Please note this is an in-person, album only signing!
For over three decades, John C. Reilly has remained one of the most beloved and versatile actors of his generation, effortlessly navigating comedy, drama and musical theater with a rare blend of skill and charm. From his breakout roles in quirky comedies to more nuanced dramatic performances, he has proven himself a master of range, breathing life into a vast array of characters with both warmth and depth.
Reilly’s career began with his film debut in Casualties of War, quickly establishing him as a sought-after actor among the most acclaimed American directors. He collaborated with Paul Thomas Anderson on Hard Eight, Boogie Nights and Magnolia, worked with Martin Scorsese on Gangs of New York and The Aviator, and joined Robert Altman for A Prairie Home Companion. He showcased his comedic mastery with two blockbuster films with Adam McKay, Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, while also blending his musical and comedic talents in Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. His versatility led to international recognition in films such as We Need to Talk About Kevin (Lynne Ramsay), Carnage (Roman Polanski), The Lobster (Yórgos Lánthimos) and The Sisters Brothers (Jacques Audiard). More recently, he reunited with Adam McKay starring in HBO Max's Winning Time, the limited series about the Los Angeles Lakers.
