We hope you’ll make plans to join us on Thursday, May 29th at 4:00 PM for an instore performance & album signing with Nashville’s own The SteelDrivers! We’ll be celebrating the release of their new album Outrun, which is due out just a few days prior on May 23rd via Sun Records. This is the band’s first release for the iconic label and we’re thrilled to be partnering with them both to celebrate this momentous occasion. You can preorder Outrun on our site here or in the record shop now to score a wristband for the band’s album signing. Space is limited and wristbands guarantee entrance to our event. Kids 12 & under do not require wristbands if attending with a wristband-holding adult. Wristbands are required to participate in the signing for all 13+.
Only Nashville could give birth to a band like The SteelDrivers, a group of seasoned veterans—each distinguished in his or her own right, each valued in the town’s commercial community—who are seizing an opportunity to follow their hearts to their souls’ reward. In doing so, they are braiding their bluegrass roots with new threads of their own design, bringing together country, soul, blues, and other contemporary influences to create an unapologetic hybrid that is old as the hills but fresh as the morning dew. This is new music with the old feeling. SteelDrivers fan Vince Gill describes the band’s fusion as simply “an incredible combination.”
Specializing in a unique mix of what might be called bluegrass soul, the SteelDrivers have become one of the biggest names in progressive bluegrass after making their debut in 2005. While there’s a strong traditional streak in the SteelDrivers sound, they bring a passion to their delivery that adds a distinctive flavor, and they’re not afraid of adding a forceful grit to the music. They have been nominated for four Grammys, the Americana Music Association’s New Artist of the Year, and were awarded IBMA’s 2009 Emerging Artist of The Year. In 2015 the band’s Muscle Shoals Recordings won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Recording.
Don’t miss your chance to soak up a bit of Music City magic when The SteelDrivers take the stage in the record shop on Thursday, May 29th! We cannot wait to celebrate Outrun with them and all of you. Secure your copy of Outrun and your spot in the signing line with your preorder in the shop or on our webstore and we’ll see you here on 5/29!
