Preorder Ben Chapman’s Feet On Fire on vinyl or CD and make plans to join us at Grimey’s on Thursday, May 21st at 4:00 PM for an intimate instore performance and album signing! We’ll be celebrating the release of Ben’s new album one day early at this special event. All who preorder Feet On Fire for local, event pickup will receive a wristband with their preorder for Ben’s post-performance signing. Wristbands are required for those 13+ to participate in the signing portion of the event and also guarantee entrance to the performance. (Kids 12 & under don’t need wristbands if attending with wristband-holding adults.) You can read more about our event with Ben Chapman on our website here.

Feet On Fire is Ben Chapman’s second collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated songwriter and producer Anderson East. It’s an album about leaving old patterns behind, making room for new beginnings and searching for stability in an ever-changing world. Or, according to Chapman, this record is a snapshot of the year he became a man following a marriage to fellow singer/songwriter Meg McRee and the birth of their first child last September.

The new LP puts East’s Alabama roots on full display, in combination with the inspiration Chapman takes from R&B grooves, Stax-sized soul, psych-rock experimentation and Allman Brothers-worthy jams. With Feet On Fire, Chapman set out to capture the energy of one of his live shows – free-wheeling, electric and exploratory. Backed by a band of A-list instrumentalists, Chapman and East focused on live-in-the-studio performances, capturing each song with two or three takes. They experimented with fuzz pedals and overdriven guitar tones, too. It was a move that nodded not only to the soundtrack of Chapman's childhood, but to his willingness to step outside the box.

“I grew up on the Grateful Dead and Dark Side of the Moon, so I wanted to pour some of that inspiration into these tracks,” Chapman shares. “This record asks you to let your hair down. It takes some fun sonic risks. It's cohesive but it's all over the place, too, in the best way possible.”

Feet On Fire is available to preorder here on vinyl and CD. Preorders are limited to a total of four per customer. For each album preordered, you’ll receive a wristband such that two LPs preordered = two wristbands, one CD preordered = one wristband, etc. The signing limit will be four albums per person. All who place preorders in advance will receive an email with preorder pickup and event details on or by the day before our event.

The signing portion of our event is an album signing only‍ where Ben Chapman will sign his new album (vinyl or CD) for attendees. (Please do not bring posters, photos, gear or other merch—these items will not be signed.) Wristbands are required for the signing for all 13+ and guarantee entrance to our event. (Wristbands are not required for kids 12 & under attending with a wristband-holding adult.) While photos will certainly be allowed from the sidelines and signing line, time does not allow for staged photos or selfies. Thanks for understanding.

Preorders placed for local, event pickup will be available starting when we open at 11:00 AM on Thursday, May 21st the day of our event with Ben Chapman.

Event preorders for store pickup will be held for three months after the event date. Please pick up your Feet On Fire preorder no later than August 21st.
