Preorder Any River, the new album from Nashville’s own Styrofoam Winos, and make plans to join us in the record shop for a special record release performance on Thursday, July 23rd at 4:00 PM! We’re pumped to host the Winos at Griimey’s again and hope you’ll be here to celebrate with us. You can read more about our upcoming event with Styrofoam Winos on our webstore here.

A decade ago, three employees of JJ's Market and Cafe became Styrofoam Winos. Lou Turner, Trevor Nikrant, and Joe Kenkel bonded over their mutual adoration for Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Leonard Cohen, and dollar bin country records. Styrofoam Winos have always gone with the flow, which makes Any River an apt title for their new album, the follow-up to 2024's Real Time. Their playful approach is bolstered by the chops of seasoned musicians who have performed many hundreds of concerts, both together and as touring members of Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band, MJ Lenderman and the Wind, and as solo artists.

Each song on Any River came out of jam sessions at Turner and Nikrant's home studio, and a shared Google doc of lyrics soon followed. They recorded in Louisville-their first album made outside of Nashville-with Roadhouse bandmate and Equipment Pointed Ankh mastermind Jim Marlowe. Marlowe's understated production kept the band's unique synergy on full display. Styrofoam Winos manage to strike a perfect balance between reverence and irreverence for the musical traditions they're working within. Their knowledge of the canon is scholarly, but such knowledge is always followed by a wink. It's the music of experienced shapeshifters, defying easy categorization while remaining instantly recognisable.

Due out June 19th via Dear Life Records, Any River is available to preorder here on standard black vinyl and CD. All who place preorders in advance will receive an email with preorder pickup and 7/23 event details on or by the day before our event.

Event preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after the event date. Please pick up your Any River preorder no later than October 23rd.
