Make plans to join us in the record store on Friday, October 17th at 4:00 PM when we’ll host Nashville’s own Todd Snider for an intimate instore performance and album signing in celebration of the release of his brand new album, High, Lonesome and Then Some! The album is due out that very day via Aimless Records / Thirty Tigers on Sea Glass colored vinyl LP & CD. All who preorder Snider’s upcoming release from Grimey’s will receive a wristband with their preorder for Snider’s album signing. Wristbands are required to participate in our album signing for all 13+ (kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with wristband holding adults), plus wristbands guarantee entrance to our event. We’re pumped to be able to host Todd Snider at Grimey’s and celebrate his new album with him. We hope you’ll be able to be here for this special occasion too!
Although he’s sure to dismiss such praise with an impish shrug, Todd Snider is an undeniable legend in American roots music. Since his 1994 debut, the Nashville antihero has been releasing albums that have both challenged and invigorated country, folk, and Americana. His 2004 LP East Nashville Skyline is regarded as a pillar of alt-country. The 2008 EP Peace Queer stands as expert political commentary. And 2012’s Agnostic Hymns and Stoner Fables earned raves for sharply dissecting life in an inequitable America.
Throughout his career, Todd studied at the feet of songwriting visionaries like Kris Kristofferson, Jimmy Buffett, Guy Clark, John Prine, and Jerry Jeff Walker, sharpening his skills with each interaction with his heroes. Now, with all those greats gone, Todd has found himself as the torchbearer for their type of live-it-to-learn-it songwriting, and has mentored artists from Hayes Carll to Sierra Ferrell along the way. He has become the heartbroken troubadour, the wry observer, and the brilliant itinerant. But that transformation didn’t come easy. To get here, Todd has had to navigate health issues, broken business relationships, and a lifetime of failed romances — not to mention immense grief over the loss of his friends and mentors. “I sing about dead friends more than girls these days,” Todd says. On his new album High, Lonesome and Then Some., his first studio LP since 2023, he does both while also taking a moment to acknowledge the fact that, remarkably, he’s still here.
