Make plans to be at the record shop on Wednesday, August 19th when we welcome Lindsay Lou to Grimey’s to celebrate the release of her new album, Bluegrass Women! She’ll be performing a short set starting at 4:00 PM and then will sign copies of her new album for attendees. All who preorder Bluegrass Women from Grimey’s will receive a wristband with their preorder for Lindsay’s post-performance signing. Wristbands are required for all 13+ to participate in the signing and also guarantee your entrance to our event. (Kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with a wristband holding adult.) You can read more about our event with Lindsay on our site here.

During the pandemic Lindsay Lou put together a short set of music for the IIBMA’s award show with fellow musicians Phoebe Hunt and Mimi Naja where they highlighted songs written by women. Putting together a whole album of bluegrass music by women was something Lindsay had been dreaming of and this moment was the catalyst she needed to actualize her aspirations.
“In March 2025 I saw my vision turn into a reality. I co-produced a record with Shani Gandhi of songs that have made their way into the bluegrass canon, and were written by women. Some of these songs I sang for many years before realizing they were penned by a wife/mother/female artist.

As a woman, it’s easy to feel like an outsider, or like you don’t belong, in a genre where there is a noticeable lack of representation of women among the forebears. To know that women’s voices made it into the traditional songs feels like a quiet win, and I want to draw more attention to it. Just like having pickers like Molly Tuttle and Sierra Hull out there showing little girls that there is a place for them now in bluegrass, I want to show where there always has been. That women’s words and voices made it in there even in the early days. I also feel primed to do this now as a follow up to Queen of Time, which honored my own maternal lineage, namely the spirit my grandmother left with me.”

Bluegrass Women features a host of who’s who in bluegrass and Americana Music. Out August 14th, the album finds Lou collaborating with Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, Aoife O’Donovan and Sarah Jarosz (of I’m With Her), Laurie Lewis, and many more celebrating the genre’s oft-overlooked female songwriters. Bluegrass Women is available to preorder here on gold colored vinyl LP and CD for local event pickup. Preorders + wristbands may be picked up at Grimey’s on Wednesday, August 19th, the day of our event with Lindsay Lou.

Preorders are limited to a total of four (4) total per customer / household. For each album preordered, you’ll receive a wristband such that 1 CD preordered = 1 wristband, 2 LPs preordered = 2 wristbands. All who place preorders in advance will receive an email with preorder pickup and event details on or by the day before our Lindsay Lou event.
