Grimey’s New & Preloved Music

Grimey’s gives a new record release somewhere to happen in person. The East Trinity Lane shop carries new and used vinyl and CDs, has a bookstore, and runs performances tied to physical releases. That last distinction matters: an in-store set supports an album, and some events require a purchase even when no conventional concert ticket is sold. The day-to-day browse is broader than the event calendar, with staff selections and used arrivals alongside the week’s releases. It is a strong starting point for East Nashville, especially when the shopping list includes both records and CDs.

New and used vinyl and CDs, books, music magazines and shop merchandise. The online store and release lists provide a starting point; call about titles you cannot find there.

Grimey’s accepts records, CDs and books for sale or trade. Buyers warn that busy periods can mean a wait. Ask about timing before arriving with a collection and expecting an immediate appraisal.

1060 East Trinity Lane, near Gallatin Pike. Follow the shop’s current parking guidance, especially for an event. Elevator Vinyl is elsewhere on East Trinity; Vinyl Tap is a separate East Nashville leg.

Read the conditions on the individual event listing. A free, all-ages in-store performance can still have an album-purchase requirement or limited space.
