You can secure your spot in the shop with your preorder now. Read more about Kaitlin Butt’s upcoming Grimey’s event on our site here.

Kaitlin Butt's new album Hello, Honky Tonk features 14 new songs pressed on Jubilee Pink vinyl in a gatefold package. The 14-track collection brings the colorful denizens of Butts’ own fantasy establishment — “Katie B’s saloon” — to life. A good pal, who knows a thing or two about honky tonk clientele, sets the stage in a spoken word opening number. In a wry twang, the honeyed Louisiana-inflected voice intones that the place gets all kinds of kinds, including, but not limited to: “The lovers, heartbreakers/The big talkers, unwanted advicers/The drinkers, line dancers, barkeepers, the ponderers/And the ones who worked way too hard who are probably gonna go buck wild, dance on the bar and lose their bra-ers.” In other words, you and everyone you know.

“This album really is my love letter to honky tonks and the night life,” Butts shares.

But a funny thing happened on the way to the bar. As Butts was writing the songs in late 2025 and early 2026, both on her own and with a murderers’ row of collaborators, she took detours to Broadway and Disney World, drawing inspiration from the musical Chicago and The Country Bear Jamboree, respectively.

Due out October 30th via Repbulic Records, Hello, Honky Tonk is available to preorder here on on Jamboree Pink colored vinyl LP & CD. Preorder a copy for local pickup to score a wristband for Kaitlin’s album signing and guaranteeing your spot in the shop for her instore performance. For each album preordered you’ll receive one wristband such that 1 LP preorder = 1 wristband, 2 CD preorders = 2 wristbands, etc. Preorders + wristbands may be claimed at Grimey’s on Friday, October 30th, the day of our event with Kaitlin Butts.

Preorders are limited to a total of four total (4) per customer / household. All who place preorders in advance will receive an email with preorder pickup and event details on or by the day before our Kaitlin Butts event.
