DAVID MAYFIELD PARADE – Thursday, March 3rd @ 6PM
David Mayfield was a singer, lead guitarist and contributing songwriter to Cadillac Sky, who recently split up, but he’s been playing music his whole life. From his years in the family band, along with younger sister Jessica Lea Mayfield, to playing the Grand Ole Opry as a hired guitar slinger, joining Cadillac Ranch and working with producer Dan Auerbach and now, finally, focusing on his own music. The Avett Brothers are fans and big supporters. David sat in numerous times on the last Avetts tour and Scott & Seth return the favor by singing on the “David Mayfield Parade” debut album. Don’t miss this chance to get in on the ground floor of this great new emerging talent. It wasn’t that packed the first time the Avett Brothers did and in-store at Grimey’s and look where they are now!

TRISTEN & The Ringers – Saturday, March 5th @ 5PM
Sweet! We’re so excited the rest of the world is now getting to discover what we’ve known for a few years – Tristen is one of the best singers and songwriters playing music today (and damn cute to boot!) Her debut album, Charlatans At The Garden Gate, is out now. It was recorded at Battle Tapes here in town and produced by Tristen and Jeremy Ferguson and it features many of our fave musicians in town including our own Rollum Haas (The Features). The critics are impressed and you will be too. “Her strength seems to reside in her ability to be musically versatile. Utilizing various orchestrations, Tristen weaves a glistening web of thoughtful and extremely mature melodies that tremble with undeniable power.” -American Songwriter. “She brings a blossoming pop sensibility to her witty, not-as-sweet-as-it-seems country.”
-Wall Street Journal. Join us on a Saturday afternoon as Tristen and her ringers host beer:30 and pick up her album asap.

COLIN HAY – Monday, March 7th @ 6PM
Still known as the man from down under, former Men At Work frontman Colin Hay is actually an American citizen who’s lived in California for the last 20 years and he’s been busy creating new music all along. He’s had songs featured in the film Garden State and on the TV show Scrubs (among many others) and his latest album, “Gathering Mercury”, is officially out March 29th. He’s playing at 3rd & Lindsley this Sunday, March 6th and we got him for a sweet little intimate in-store performance the day after and you will be able to buy his new album early while you’re here (and get him to sign it for you!) Colin’s label, Compass Records, is supplying the free beer so join us next Monday and we’ll hoist one and rock out together!

MATT WERTZ – Tuesday, March 15th @ 6PM
It’s been 3 years since Matt Wertz last released an album. He broke up with his major label and toured his ass off and, when it was time to get back to the studio, he came up with the title first and let that inspire him. The result is “Weights & Wings” and the Missouri native has this to say about it, “I got the title from a daily meditation book that I read,” he explains. “It’s the idea that the heavy things in life and the transcendent times are both equally important in propelling us on and through life. There have been a lot of hard days in the past couple of years, and it’s reassuring to know that they’ll be put to use, that they’re imperative to my life, and that I need them to balance out the other end.” We’re stoked that Matt has decided to use Grimey’s as the launch pad for his latest endeavor. He’ll be playing here on the day “Weights & Wings” is released and we’ll have a special bonus EP to lay on you if you buy Matt’s new album while you’re here. This will be special so don’t miss out.

JESSICA LEA MAYFIELD – Thursday, March 24th @ 6PM
2011 looks to be Jessica Lea Mayfield’s year. The acclaimed indie-folk singer-songwriter
just released her Dan Auerbach-produced sophomore album “Tell Me” and she’s performing this Friday, Feb. 25th on the Letterman show. She’s playing Bonnaroo. Spin magazine just pegged her as “next big thing” (and they called her a badass!) Rolling Stone mag also named her as an “artist to watch” and claims “At 21, Mayfield looks like an ingénue but sings like a worldly-wise veteran, picking apart relationships with the sly eroticism of someone who’s lived a little…[Tell Me] is a disarming collision of stark country balladry, dynamic alternative rock and arty electronic pop.” Oh yeah, NPR has also done a feature on Jessica recently. What’s all the buzz about? Real, honest music from an uncompromising artist with vision. We’ll see you here on March, 24.
