Record Store Day 2024 is almost here! We’ll be celebrating the 17th annual Record Store Day on Saturday, April 20th. Grimey’s will open early, at 10:00 AM (hey, that’s early for us!), and we’ll have plenty of 2024 Record Store Day exclusive releases available for purchase in the shop. We’re thrilled that some of our faves, Paramore, are the 2024 Record Store Day Ambassadors!!! We love these guys and are so proud to have them represent Record Store Day and Independent Record Stores. Read their RSD 2024 statement here. They mean business, y’all.

Be sure to check out the complete list of this years’ RSD Exclusive releases on their site here, including records from Paramore, Noah Kahan, The 1975, The Replacements, Pearl Jam, De La Soul, and Bare Jr, featuring our founder & co-owner Mike Grimes! We try to order just about every title available, though sometimes we don’t know until literally the last moment if we’ll receive all the albums being released that day.

We’re stoked to announce that Bare, Jr. will join us for a live performance by the original line-up, going down here on the Grimey’s stage at 4:00 PM! The band’s debut album Boo-Tay will be released on vinyl for the first time ever on RSD. Bare Jr. will greet fans and sign copies of Boo-Tay following their performance.

We’ll be selling the RSD exclusives from our back door, across from Anaconda Vintage. We’ll offer menus listing all of the titles we have on hand to customers to select which titles they want. Then helpful Grimey’s staffers will pick your orders and bring you your records to check out. The line will form in the lawn in front of Living Waters behind our “RSD Line Forms Here” sign. Please do not line up at the back door of Grimey’s. We’ll move the line over there when we’re ready to start slingin’ records! If you choose to get here overnight, please be courteous and respectful to our other customers and look out for each other.

Joining us for the big day will be some of our friends from the community! We’re always happy to partner with our local community radio station WXNA who will be spinning tunes for the line on the lawn with the first official set starting at 8:00 AM.

PS - If you wanna get out and listen to more records on Saturday night, right around the corner from the shop at American Legion Post 82, Sparkle City Disco—a DJ duo who have been shopping with us since they were in high school—will be celebrating the 12th Anniversary of SCJ with guest DJ Zach Cowie (our once upon a time ago Drag City sales rep!) As a nod to their love of record stores on Record Store Day, tickets are discounted to $15 with your RSD receipt at the door.

IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION! Our parking lot is shared with other rad businesses and it is a finite space, so parking is limited. In addition to our lot, there is an inexpensive paid parking lot behind Elegy Coffee and Mickey's on Gallatin Road that is a short walk from the shop. Please use EXTREME CAUTION if parking on the nearby, narrow neighborhood streets. Too many cars make these roads impassable and result in angry neighbors, the police being called, and cars being towed. (This is no fun at all.) If possible, please consider carpooling, ride-sharing, walking, biking, scooting, roller skating, or taking the bus to attend Record Store Day 2024 at Grimey’s.

On Friday, April 19th Pearl Jam will release their 12th studio album, Dark Matter, via Monkeywrench Records! We hope that you’ll make plans to be here for a special early listening experience on Sunday, April 14th at 3:00 PM. Join us as we slip through the portal to have a listen to Dark Matter. Hear the entire album before it’s released plus you’ll have the chance to win a cool prize and exclusive giveaways. You can preorder Dark Matter in the record store or on our site here.

Because we’re hosting our event with Aaron Lee Tasjan very soon, we’ve removed stock from our webstore. However, copies of Stellar Evolution are still available for purchase in the record store on vinyl & CD! Hope to see you soon!

We hope you can join us on Friday, April 12th, as we have the honor of hosting Aaron Lee Tasjan at Grimey’s for an in-store performance and album signing in celebration of the release of his new album! Stellar Evolution will be released that day via Blue Elan Record on vinyl and CD. Copies of the album are available for preorder in the record shop and on our website here. All preorders placed for local, store pickup include a wristband for Tasjan’s album signing. Space is limited. *Wristbands are required for the signing and guarantee entrance to the in-store performance.

Over his past decade plus of writing, recording, producing, Tasjan has released four excellent and critically acclaimed solo albums, toured the world over on his own and as the guitarist in the New York Dolls.  He co-founded and co-wrote all of the material for the band Semi Precious Weapons. In 2021 he was nominated for a Grammy for his writing on Yola’s “Diamond Studded Shoes” and most recently, Tasjan produced Mya Byrne’s album Rhinestone Tomboy (Kill Rock Stars Nashville) which helped to establish her as one of the first openly trans artists in Americana Music.

He’s cultivated a brilliant and outstanding career to date already.  But his forthcoming album Stellar Evolution (Blue Élan Records) is just what the title says.  Tasjan’s new album is truly the sum of all of the parts of his diverse accomplishments to date while clearly heading in a brand-new direction.  You can’t put any labels on Stellar Evolution except for it being a career defining work and a major leap forward for someone who’s never been afraid to push the boundaries of any and all expectations.

Whether it's slacker rock anthem "The Drugs Did Me", an autobiographical account of Aaron Lee's journey to sobriety, new wave raver "Alien Space Queen," which celebrates living outside the gender binary and Aaron Lee's bi-sexuality and queer identity, or shimmering synth power ballad "Dylan Shades," a celebration of those who carry their pain with love, Aaron Lee's songs claim space and shine bright. This is Aaron Lee's most fully realized project to date, marking a culmination of Aaron Lee's unique artistic voyage, from glam rock side person in the orbit of the New York Dolls and Lady Gaga, to breakout GRAMMY nominated Nashville singer-songwriter releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums, writing alongside some of Nashville's established and emerging stars, to now fully embracing his singular sound and making his most personal album to date.

We can’t wait to experience Stellar Evolution for ourselves in the record shop! Preorder your copy of Aaron Lee’s new album on vinyl or CD and then be here to get it signed after what will no doubt be a fun and celebratory performance! You can drop by the shop or check out our web store to preorder now and we’ll see you then!

We’re big fans of The Black Keys and have a fun history with the band, having hosted them for performances in our old spot on 8th Avenue and having had a couple of sweet Black Keys murals on the walls of our current location (check out the newest mural here.) We are so pumped to announce that on Thursday, April 11th we’re hosting Dan and Patrick for an album signing to celebrate the release of their new album! The guys will be signing copies of Ohio Players at Grimey’s at 4:00 PM on Thursday, April 11th starting at 4:00 PM.

To participate in The Black Keys album signing, purchase a copy of Ohio Players on our website here or in the record store and you’ll receive a wristband for our event.

The signing line will form outside our front entrance and wrap around our building starting at the Paramore Record Store Day mural. Before hopping in line, please be sure to grab your wristband and album from one of the upstairs counters in the record store. This is a rain or shine event, which involves standing in line. Please arrive with that in mind and consider bringing along a tote bag so you won't' have to hold your album in your hand during your time in line.

We’re so pleased to host Cedric Burnside at Grimey’s for an in-store performance & album signing celebrating the release of his new album, Hill Country Love (out April 5th via Provogue Records)! Burnside’s musical odyssey began when he was just 13-years-old, playing drums for his grandfather, the legendary R.L. Burnside. His recording career spans more than a decade and is marked by critical acclaim and artistic growth, with GRAMMY nominations for Descendants of Hill Country and Benton County Relic. Burnside’s artistic versatility is also evident in his film appearances and the portrayal of significant roles, reflecting his multifaceted talent. Following the 2021 release of I Be Trying, Burnside won Best Traditional Blues Album at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards. The recognition solidified his place as not just the progeny of the Hill Country Blues, but also the genre’s torchbearer for the next generation.

His new album, Hill Country Love, stands as a testament to his family’s rich heritage and his innovative approach to music. The album is an intimate portrayal of his life's experiences, challenges, and triumphs. Burnside’s commitment to authenticity shines through each track, offering a modern interpretation of the blues while staying true to its roots.

Due out April 5th, 2024, Hill Country Love is available to preorder now in the record store and on our website here on limited edition LP and CD. All orders placed for local pickup will include a wristband for Burnside’s signing in the record store on Wednesday, April 10th, at 4:00 PM. Wristbands are required for the signing** and guarantee entrance to our event. **Kids 12 & under do not require a wristband if attending with a wristband-holding adult.

We’re excited to host Maggie Rose for a special No One Gets Out Alive record release celebration featuring a performance & album signing in the record shop on Saturday, April 6th! Our event kicks off at 4:00 PM when Maggie will perform a short set of songs from her new album, to be followed by an album signing. No One Gets Out Alive is due out 4/5 and is available to preorder in the record store and on our site here on limited edition colored Vinyl and on CD. Preorders for local, store pickup include a wristband guaranteeing entrance to her 4/6 in-store performance & signing event. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband.) We are really looking forward to celebrating Maggie’s new album with her and hope you’ll be able to join in on the fun.

Maggie Rose has been making records and writing songs in Nashville since 2008. She’s shared the stage with an impressive array of artists including Kelly Clarkson, Heart, Joan Jett, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, and Fitz & The Tantrums, to name a few, and earned her reputation as a charismatic, dynamic live performer at countless marquis festivals including Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, and Newport Folk Fest among others. We had the pleasure of hosting Maggie Rose for an in-store performance in late 2018, shortly after our move to the East Side, and we are thrilled to be able to host her again, this time in celebration of No One Gets Out Alive. Her new album was recorded with GRAMMY-Award winning producer Ben Tanner and features members of Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit, Alabama Shakes and Gregg Allman’s Band. We can’t wait to hear this album, let alone see songs from it performed in the record shop!

We’re so excited to be able to host Maggie and hope you’ll be able to join us. Preordered copies of No One Gets Out Alive can be picked up in the store starting on release day, 4/5, at 11:00 AM, when we open.

Our pal Marcus King is back with a new album, Mood Swings, produced by Rick Rubin and due out April 5th via American Recordings. King is a GRAMMY® nominated fourth generation musician from Greenville, SC, who started playing guitar at 8 years old following in the footsteps of his guitarist father and grandpa. Logging thousands of miles on the road as “The Marcus King Band,” he established himself with unparalleled performance prowess and a dynamic live show. During 2020, he linked up with Dan Auerbach and cut his solo debut El Dorado, garnering a GRAMMY® Award nomination in the category of “Best Americana Album.” In between packing venues on his own, he performed alongside Chris Stapleton, Greta Van Fleet, and Nathaniel Rateliff in addition to gracing the bills of Stagecoach and more with one seismic show after the next. He has been open about his mental health in his songs and has launched various mental health initiatives as well, most recently a guitar auction collaboration with MusiCares (he is scheduled to perform at the MusiCares person of the year event during the GRAMMY® awards week.) In fact, during a North American tour, Marcus had designs to drink himself to death. He admits, “I had an escape route already decided for myself and a backup if that didn’t work.”

Nevertheless, fate stepped in. Rubin saw a performance at the Ryman and decided to cold-call Marcus and they quickly agreed to work together on Marcus’ next project. During the promotion of his critically acclaimed album Young Blood, Marcus and Rubin covertly holed up for sessions in Italy and Malibu. Instead of crumbling under the weight of his anxiety, Rubin inspired him to shift his perspective. Drawing on dark moments where King was plagued by suicidal thoughts, dealing with addiction and in mental health crisis, Mood Swings also shares a message of hope. Rubin helped King find a new personal and sonic approach to the turbulent period in his life that also inspired songs on his previous album. “He helped me view mental health as a writing partner in a way,” recalls Marcus. “I’ve learned it can give me that creative spark.”

Help us celebrate Marcus ‘ Mood Swings, with a release day signing in the record store! Marcus is going to be hanging out with us on release day, Friday, April 5th, starting at 12:00 PM noon, when he’ll be signing copies of the new album for attendees. Preorder your copy of Mood Swings on limited edition neon orange colored vinyl (available exclusively at indie record shops) and CD in the record store or on our site here while supplies last and you’ll receive a wristband for King’s album signing. Wristbands are required to participate in our signing event and will be distributed with preorder pickup starting on Friday, 4/5. (Please note, those 12 & under who attend the Marcus King signing with a wristband holding adult may also have their copies of Mood Swings signed.)

We’re excited to host Bre Kennedy for a special vinyl release celebration on Wednesday, March 27th at 4:00 PM! Bre’s new album Scream Over Everything was released digitally in the fall and is now making its way to vinyl. Written over the course of one year, as Bre joined Joy Oladokun and Paper Kites on their headlining tours, Scream Over Everything features co-writes from Morgan Nagler, Mikey Reaves, and Emily Hackett, and is produced by Davis Naish (Joshua Bassett, Katelyn Tarver, Maddie Zahm) and mixed by Konrad Snyder (Noah Kahan, Kacey Musgraves, Madi Diaz). Across nine enigmatic pop songs, Bre makes the personal universal as she recounts stories of reconnecting with estranged family members, seeking therapy, and ending a romantic relationship. “Going into my 30s, I started going through the garden in my mind, taking out the things that don't serve me anymore, and planting new seeds,” Bre says. “I feel like it's been the season that I've been in.”

“A lot of what I've written about in the past is nostalgia,” Bre says. “I'm a very nostalgic person. But this album is about presence — being present in the feeling and letting it come up. It’s about choosing and trusting myself. “Songs are funny that way,” Bre continues thoughtfully. “Even when I didn't feel like I had words for how I felt in certain moments, I wrote these songs and they let my voice scream over everything else. Now that these songs have come into the world, I hope they can find you on days when you need a song to scream to.”

We’re so excited to be able to host Bre and hope you’ll be able to join us. Copies of Scream Over Everything can be picked up in the store now or in advance of her event on March 27th. For additional information about our Scream Over Everything web sale, please visit our events ordering page here or reach out to us in the shop.

Our Preorder for wristbands for our Sierra Ferrell signing is SOLD OUT. We will have copies of Trail of Flowers available for purchase in the record store on release day, 3/22, however they will NOT include a wristband for her in-store signing that guarantee entrance to our event. Please contact the store for additional details.

Sierra Ferrell has a new album out on Friday, March 22nd, called Trail of Flowers. We’re stoked that Sierra will join us on release day for a live, in-store performance to be followed by an album signing! Here are the details:

Sierra Ferrell’s new LP, Trail of Flowers, has already been hailed as one of the “most anticipated albums of 2024” (Variety), from one of “the most exciting country musicians in all of America” (Paste). Following her 2021 debut, Long Time Coming – which turned the West Virginia-born, Nashville-based Ferrell from train-hopping, hitchhiking vagabond to a viral sensation and “rising star” (Rolling Stone) – Trail of Flowers reveals the wealth of wisdom and wild imagination behind her inimitable voice, shapeshifting sound and wondrous inner-world. Across the record’s 12 songs,

Ferrell blends boldly new ideas and old-time music to tell spellbinding stories about her struggle to build a life in a culture consumed by capitalism. Between dive bar romances, murder ballads and feverish tales of fending for food, the words and emotions are informed by her nomadic and ragged upbringing, busking everywhere from truck stops to alleyways, boxcars and the streets of New Orleans with a group of young, itinerant musicians.

Trail of Flowers features contributions from illustrious musicians like Lukas Nelson and Chris Scruggs. It was primarily recorded at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studios and produced by Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton) with additional production by Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dwight Yoakam, Gillian Welch).

Our event with Sierra kicks off at 5:00 PM when she will perform a short live set to be immediately followed by an album signing. Trail of Flowers is available to preorder on our site here now on limited edition “Candyland” color vinyl and on CD. Albums ordered for local, store pickup include a wristband guaranteeing entrance to Sierra’s performance at Grimey’s and are required for her album signing. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband.) We are really looking forward to hosting Sierra and hope you’ll be able to join us for what is sure to be a wonderful evening! Preordered copies of Trail of Flowers can be picked up in the record store starting at 11:00 AM on release day. Wristbands will be distributed with album pickup and are non-transferable. For additional information about our Trail of Flowers preorder, please visit our preorder page here or reach out to us in the shop.

We hope you’ll make plans to join us at noon on Thursday, March 21st at 4:00 PM for a special Waxahatchee Listening Party! We’ll be spinning the new album, Tigers Blood, due out the following day via Anti- Records on limited edition “Tigers Blood” (Clear Red) colored vinyl and on CD. We’ll have party favors to give away at our event including exclusive merchandise, posters & more, plus one lucky attendee will score a limited edition test pressing signed by Katie Crutchfield herself! (Must be present to win, there is no cost to participate in our raffle. Party favors are available while supplies last.) This is a free & all ages shin-dig, so come one, come all!

Waxahatchee was formed in 2010 by Katie Crutchfield, who at the time was still performing music with her twin sister in the band P.S. Elliot. However, once their joint project dissolved Katie focused her writing efforts on her Waxahatchee project and has released several albums on indie labels Don Giovanni and Merge Records. She also started the band Plains with Jess Williamson, marking her first release on Anti- Records. On her new album, Crutchfield emerges as a powerhouse–an ethnologist of the self–forever dedicated to revisiting her wins and losses. But now she’s arriving at revelations and she ain’t holding them back. You can preorder your copy of Tigers Blood on our webstore here or pick one up in the shop at our party.

We’re big fans of Kacey Musgraves and are so pumped to be able to celebrate the release of Deeper Well with her in the record shop the day after the album drops! Kacey will be saying hi to fans, taking pictures, and signing copies of her new record at Grimey’s at 2:00 PM on Saturday, March 16th.

To participate in Kacey’s meet & greet and album signing, preorder a copy of Deeper Well on our website here or in the record store and you’ll receive a wristband for our event. Wristbands are required for the signing line where you can say hey to Kacey and get a pic when she signs your copy of Deeper Well. Due to time constraints and so as many fans as possible can participate, Kacey will only be signing one (1) copy of her new record per person. However, each customer can preorder as many as two (2) copies of Deeper Well for a total of two wristbands—one wristband per album preordered—allowing for up to two people to participate per order placed. Wristbands are non-transferable and are required for participation in this event. (Wristbands not required for those 12 & under if attending with a wristband-holding adult.) If you already placed a preorder for Deeper Well through Grimey’s we will have wristbands reserved for you based on the number of albums you initially preordered. You must be present to participate in our Kacey Musgraves Deeper Well album signing. (Sorry but we are unable to have albums signed for those who preordered but cannot attend.)

Wristbands for this event will be distributed with preorder pickup. We encourage you to arrive no earlier than one hour prior to event start time--everyone who participates in our preorder will be able to go through the signing line, so no need to line up extra early. Because parking is limited on-site, please consider carpooling, ride-sharing or walking to our event. The signing line will form outside our front entrance and wrap around our building on the Living Waters Brewing side, then behind our shop, through the breezeway between Grimey’s & Anaconda Vintage, wrapping back up the side of Grimey’s, towards Trinity Lane and then finally across the parking area and into the grassy lot and down the tree-line. (For those who haven’t been to the shop in a while, please note the grassy lot next door is no longer available for parking.) Before hopping in line, please be sure to grab your wristband and preorder from one of the upstairs counters in the record store. This is a rain or shine event, which involves standing in line.

Roots music and blues legend Taj Mahal has a brand new album with his Taj Mahal Sextet. The album is called Swinging’ Live at the Church in Tulsa. It’s an extraordinary set recorded at the Tulsa studio best known as the home base of the late, great Leon Russell. The ten songs reach across multiple genres that Taj has explored in his incomparable career, and feature his long-time quartet—bassist Bill Rich, drummer Kester Smith, and guitarist/Hawaiian lap steel player Bobby Ingano—augmented by dobro player Rob Ickes and guitarist and vocalist Trey Hensley.

In a career spanning seven decades and almost 50 albums, Taj Mahal has not only helped popularize and reshape the scope of the blues, but he has also personified the concept of “World Music” since years before the phrase even existed. From a base of traditional country blues, Taj has explored and incorporated reggae, Latin, R&B, Cajun, Caribbean, gospel, West African, jazz, calypso, Hawaiian slack-key, and countless other musical styles into his astonishing body of work. Along the way, he has become proficient on about 20 different instruments and collaborated with a vast range of musicians including the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Etta James, Angelique Kidjo, Ziggy Marley, and masters from such countries as India and Mali. For his work, Taj has won four Grammy Awards (out of fifteen nominations), been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, and was a recipient of the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award.

Swinging’ Live at the Church in Tulsa is out this Friday, March 8th. Taj Mahal will join us at Grimey’s (I can't believe I just wrote that!) to celebrate with a live solo performance in the shop next Thursday, March 14th, at 4:30 PM to be followed by a record signing. Taj will only sign copies of his new album. You can order your copy of the gold color vinyl and CD now in the shop or the Grimey’s webstore here for your wristband to go through the signing line and get Taj Mahal to autograph your album! Attendance for this event is free and all ages.

Bleachers return with their self-titled new album, due out March 8th via Dirty Hit.

We’re stoked to host Madi Diaz for a special Weird Faith record release celebration featuring an in-store performance, album signing, and pop-up tarot reading on Wednesday, February 14t! Our event kicks off at 3:00 PM with Tarot Readings by The Emerald Eye and, at 4:00 PM sharp, Madi will perform a short set of songs from her new album, to be followed by an album signing. Weird Faith is due out 2/9 and is available to preorder in the record store and on our site now on Opaque Green Vinyl and on CD. Preorders for local, store pickup include a wristband guaranteeing entrance to her 2/14 in-store performance & signing event. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband.) We are really looking forward to celebrating Madi’s album with her and hope you’ll be able to join in on the fun.

Diaz has been making records and writing songs professionally since the mid 2000s and wowing us at Grimey’s since she moved to Nashville in the mid-2010’s and we saw her perform at The Basement. However, it wasn’t until she released 2021’s History Of A Feeling that she felt the glare of wider notoriety. Even though it wasn’t her debut album, it certainly was her breakthrough album. She made her daytime and night time television debuts, embarked on her first solo tour since 2012, and supported Waxahatchee and Angel Olsen on tour, and also collaborated with them on record. Harry Styles handpicked Diaz to open for him in arenas and stadiums in North America, and was so taken by her captivating live show, he asked her to be a member of his touring band, to sing alongside him all over Europe and the UK, as well as continuing to open the show in various cities. After months on the road touring internationally, Diaz is back in town, and gearing up to celebrate the release her new album, Weird Faith. Featuring Kacey Musgraves and produced by Sam Cohen and Konrad Snyder, the album feels expansive and exploratory, showcasing her growth as a songwriter and speaking earnestly about the fears that come from falling in love again. We can’t wait to hear her play these songs live and celebrate with her!

We’re so excited to be able to host Madi for what is shaping up to be an incredible event! Be sure to get here early, before her set starts, so you can have a moment with the tarot read to find what the future holds for you. Preordered copies of Weird Faith can be picked up in the store starting on release day, 2/9, at 11:00 AM, when we open. Wristbands will be distributed with album pickup and are non-transferable. For additional information about our Weird Faith preorder, please visit our preorder page here or reach out to us in the shop.

In addition to our lot, there is a paid parking lot behind Elegy Coffee and Mickey's on Gallatin Road that is a short walk from the shop. Please use EXTREME CAUTION if parking on the nearby, narrow neighborhood streets.

We do not want anger or disrespect any of our neighbors, especially not that one. DO NOT BLOCK DRIVEWAYS OR PARK IN UNAPPROVED ALLEY SPACES or you will be swiftly towed. (This is no fun at all.) Please consider carpooling, ride-sharing, walking, biking, scooting, roller skating, or taking the bus to attend this Grimey’s event.

We hope you’ll make plans to join us for a special Laura Jane Grace listening party on Tuesday, February 13th, where we’ll be spinning a copy of her upcoming album, Hole In My Head! The album will also be available for early purchase (3 days before release, in store only!) While supplies last event attendees will receive an exclusive Large Jane Grace poster and as well as a raffle ticket for our grand prize drawing—a signed copy of Hole In My Head on vinyl plus one pair of tickets to see Laura Jane with Matt Patton & Mikey Erg and special guests Thelma And The Sleaze and Dikembe, Sunday March 17th at The City Winery Nashville. (For concert tickets and venue information visit The City Winery Nashville.) Our Laura Jane Grace Hole In My Head Listening Party is a free & all ages affair, so come one, come all!

Hole In My Head is Grace’s twelfth album and an exciting hallmark in Laura Jane Grace’s colorful and extensive career. Recorded at Native Sound in St. Louis, Missouri with David Beeman and mixed & mastered by Matt Allison (engineer for acts such as Lawrence Arms and Rise Against), the album is a sonic curio cabinet containing multitudes. Hole In My Head features warm 50s-rock-influenced guitar riffs, saved-for-later lyrics, love letters to St. Louis, dysphoria apparel, and thoughtful reflections on a punk life lived.

A musical force since Against Me!'s debut in the late 90's, Grace has never shied away from themes of political commentary, environmentalism, social critique, and candid self-exploration. Following the 2012 public announcement of her gender transition in the pages of Rolling Stone, Laura Jane racked up several accolades. Against Me! released its most acclaimed record to date, Transgender Dysphoria Blues in 2014, which was followed by an Emmy-nominated 10-episode companion documentary, True Trans with Laura Jane Grace. In 2016, she teamed up with journalist Dan Ozzi, to co-write her acclaimed memoir TRANNY: Confessions of Punk Rock’s Most Infamous Anarchist which went on to be featured on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Fresh Air with Terry Gross, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, and rightfully named one of Billboard’s “100 Greatest Music Books of All Time”.

We’re very excited to host Tyler Ramsey for a special in-store performance and album signing on Friday, February 9th at 5:00 PM, to celebrate the release of his new album, New Lost Ages! The album is due out 2/9 and is available to preorder in the record store and on our site now on Natural Warm Grey Vinyl and on CD. Preorders for local, store pickup include a wristband guaranteeing entrance to his 2/9 in-store performance & signing event. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband.)

New Lost Ages was recorded at the legendary Avast! Recording Co. in Seattle, Washington, by storied producer Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, Father John Misty, The Shins, Built to Spill). This 10-song LP documents an ongoing sonic quest within Ramsey — meticulously wandering across the musical landscape, this undulating tone of indie, rock and folk stylings. “Each album carries me down a different path, every record drawing in new people, new experiences,” Ramsey says. “And New Lost Ages was this new process, where I really trusted a producer by handing over my songs and was willing to work on anything that he felt needed work.”

Situated in a power-trio formation — including bassist Morgan Henderson (Fleet Foxes) and drummer Sean Lane (Ann Wilson) — Ramsey found himself fronting a full-on rock outfit, a scenario that conjured fresh inspiration and straightforward determination within the recording process. “At first, it was intimidating to walk into a room with these super talented musicians and just put my songs down in front of them,” Ramsey says. “But, they’re killer musicians and we were able to pull it off in a short amount of time. We figured out all of the arrangements pretty quickly and played our parts live.”

New Lost Ages is about peeling back the layers of oneself, to locate and open up the dusty boxes of your past from the back of the closet of your mind. It’s memories and mistakes, lessons and lifelines bringing the present moment into focus — the future bright with possibility and purpose, so long as you never forget the road to the here and now.

We’re thrilled to be able to host Tyler Ramsey at Grimey’s and celebrate New Lost Ages with him and all of you! Ramsey’s set starts at 5:00 PM, with an album signing immediately to follow. Preorders can be picked up in the store starting on 2/9 at 11:00 AM, when we open. Wristbands will be distributed with album pickup and are non-transferable. This is an all ages shindig, so come one, come all!

We’re very excited to host Nashville-based multi-GRAMMY award winning musician Sarah Jarosz for a special in-store performance and album signing on Friday, January 26th at 5:00 PM, to celebrate the release of her new album, Polaroid Lovers! The album is due out 1/26 via Rounder Records and is available to preorder in the record store and on our site now on cool Blue / Green colored vinyl and on CD. Preorders for local, store pickup include a wristband guaranteeing entrance to her 1/26 in-store performance & signing event. (Kids 12 & under do not need a wristband.)

Polaroid Lovers is an album-long meditation on those strangely ephemeral moments that indelibly shape our lives. “What I love about a Polaroid is that it’s capturing something so fleeting, but at the same time it makes that moment last forever,” says the Texas-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist. “It made sense as a title for a record where all the songs are snapshots of different love stories, and there’s a feeling of time being expansive despite that impermanence.” Thanks to the rarefied alchemy that infuses all of Jarosz’s output—her finely wrought lyricism, ravishing vocal work, virtuosic yet unfettered musicality—Polaroid Lovers performs the much-needed magic of leading us toward a heightened sense of presence, all while casting a lovely spell with her timelessly powerful songs.

Back in 2020 we had the pleasure of hosting a special virtual performance with Jarosz around the release of World on the Ground. If you didn’t view it at the time you can still watch it on YouTube. We’re very excited to be able to host Jarosz at Grimey’s again and celebrate her lovely new record, Polaroid Lovers. And thankfully this time we’ll be able to enjoy her performance with all of you in the room! Jarosz’s set starts at 5:00 PM, with an album signing immediately to follow. Preorders can be pickedup in the store starting on 1/26 at 11:00 AM, when we open. Wristbands will be distributed with album pickup and are non-transferable.

Green Day is not your savior. But the spirit of rock n roll might be! And as one of the greatest punk band alive, they're the loudest vessel we have... to give it a shot. Green Day are ready to flip off the famous, stupid and contagious, by putting a mirror to the present tense like only they can, with Saviors—an inspired new studio album to be released on January 19th via Warner Music. Amazingly, Saviors is Green Day's 14th studio album, yet somehow this enduring power trio, Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool & Mike Dirnt, remains devoted to their defiant craft that has fueled their career-long destruction of every boundary bestowed on the genre (and landed 3 East Bay punks in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame). The new album was recorded in both London and Los Angeles under the audacious ear and Rock prowess of Green Day's longtime friend & collaborator, GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo.

We hope you’ll join us on Saturday, January 13th for your chance to hear Saviors almost one week early and score some sweet Green Day swag! We’re going to spin a copy of the new album right at 5:00 PM, aka BEER:30, and will be giving away prizes including exclusive lyric books, pins, posters, shirts and more.
