Jo Schornikow In-Store Performance & Record Release Celebration

  • Grimey's New and Preloved Music 1060 East Trinity Lane Nashville, TN, 37216 United States (map)

Join us on Thursday, May 19th to celebrate Jo Schornikow’s new album ALTAR with a free and all-ages in-store performance by Jo her accompanists, . Schornikow’s new album ALTAR is a joyful announcement of synthy indie-pop. From Melbourne, Australia, Jo’s first job at 17 was as a church organist, a job she’s picked up again now in Nashville, where she lives with her husband Matthew Houck of Phosphorescent and their two children. She’s played keyboard in that band for over 8 years now, touring heavily all over the world as a full band, and ducking into BBC to record a duo session on their grand piano. Rolling Stone called her previous album, Secret Weapon, “excellent,” Pitchfork calls her piano playing “sensitive” and “impressionistic,” and Gorilla vs. Bear describes her songwriting as “gorgeous and smouldering.” Come see for yourself on the 19th.

You can preorder autographed copies of ALTAR on clear colored vinyl & CD from our webstore now, for local pickup or for mail order. You can also just drop by the record shop to place a preorder or pick up your copy at our record release celebration on May 19th.
