Self-reflection can be uncomfortable, but the insight and clarity that comes from it can spark tremendous creativity. Though singer-songwriter Caroline Spence typically spends much of her time on the road – a lifestyle that doesn’t allow for much self-reflection – the lockdown provided her with an unexpected gift of time that ultimately enabled her to create the new songs that make up her forthcoming album, True North, due out April 29th on Rounder Records. The album features 12 brand new songs written or co-written bySpence that explore the full spectrum of the human experience: love, growth, grief, and the endless complexities of human nature.

Caroline is a friend of the shop and we’ve had the honor of hosting her for in-stores performances in the past but right now she’s out on the road, supporting the album. (She has a date in Nashville in May, be on the lookout for a ticket giveaway on our socials in the coming weeks!) She’s kindly signed copies of True North, as a way of celebrating the record with us, so all our copies are signed by Caroline herself! True North is available for order here now on vinyl and CD.

Due to the special nature of this release, preorders are limited to two (2) per format, per person / household.

Preorders have shipped out from Grimey’s as of Friday, April 29th, and the album is now available for local pickup.
