This is the Lucy’s origin story. Host and shop owner Mary Mancini sits down with Don & April Kendall of House O’ Pain, also known as the other two “tolerant, accessible adult role model[s]” who ran the place, to talk about how, with a whole lot of love, luck, and perseverance, they turned a small, independent record shop into a safe harbor and an essential destination for local and touring punk and indie bands.
In the summer of 1992 Donnie and April had already been booking all-ages punk shows for a couple of years and had built a loyal following of teenagers hungry for live music and a place to just “be.” Mary had just opened Lucy’s Record Shop to sell 12” dance vinyl and LPs from independent bands to customers hungry for music you couldn’t find anywhere else in town.
A few months later the two worlds would collide when Donnie and April accidentally stumbled onto Lucy’s. Call it fate, call it destiny, call it whatever you want, when the Kendalls walked into that small shop on Church Street, something in the universe clicked into place and forever changed the trajectory of Nashville’s underground music scene – and many, many lives.
Don & April Kendall booked shows, published a ‘zine, and ran a record label all under the umbrella of House O’ Pain. Don played guitar in legendary Nashville punk bands Rednecks In Pain, Fun Girls from Mt. Pilot, and Booby Hatch. Together they own a small business in Nashville and are the proud parents of Samantha, a certified athletic trainer, and Griffin, a member of The United States Marine Corps.

If you’re a native Nashvillian, you likely remember Lucy’s Record Shop; a small but influential record store on Church Ave that was home to a ton of local shows, phenomenal touring acts and in-store performances.
Mary Mancini, founder of Lucy’s Record Shop, has revived the name in the form of a brand new podcast. In the series she’ll be talking with the folks that made Lucy’s so special and influential. I highly recommend you read this entire Tweet thread to give yourself all the context behind the show.
Here’s the show synopsis:
Lucy’s Record Shop (1992-1998) was a fiercely independent record store, all-ages punk club, and tight-knit community of the rebellious, the rejected, the anxious, and their allies. Join shop owner Mary Mancini as she sits down with the folks who made Lucy’s so special and left a lasting mark on the Nashville underground music scene.
We are honored to be a part of the distribution of this new show. You can hear the trailer right here and use the links below to subscribe on your favorite streamer app.

I talk with artist Kevin Guthrie about his time in Nashville and his development as an artist even though he gets a little weird about accepting the term. His show, A History of Tofu in America, will hang at the Julia Martin Gallery through the end of April 2022.
Within we discuss all sorts of stuff, from his times on the road with Pavement and the Silver Jews to how he became fixated on Tofu. Kevin is an extraordinary dude and this was a super fun chat.

Every week I strive to put together a playlist of music by Nashville artists that confirms that Nashville is more than country music, more than Music Row, more than singer-songwriters, more than downtown honky tonks and every episode I get confirmation that, yes, absolutely, Nashville music is way more than all of those things. There’s an undeniably rich tapestry of music across every genre imaginable and I absolutely love sharing it here on the show.
For the 300th episode I wanted to do something special. I kept coming back to the idea of the Nashville community and how there’s no single piece of the puzzle that makes Nashville’s music scene so great. Yes, there are a mesmerizing amount of local bands all making fantastic songs but their efforts are augmented by local record stores, local labels, local writers, local DJs, local producers, local promoters, local artists supporting other artists! There’s a giant swirl of *community* helping one another, propping each other up. We Own This Town strives to be a part of that giant mechanism but it doesn’t work without everyone’s absolutely dedicated involvement.
So, for Episode 300 I reached out to some of the community and asked them to pick one of their favorite local tracks. It could be one of their all-time favorites, one of their recent favorites – I left that up to them to decide – just pick a favorite. The results are wonderfully varied, exactly what you’d hope for. You’ve heard many of these tracks on the show before but many of them are brand new to the show as well; just more evidence at exactly how amazing our local scene is.
Find more music from each of our artists linked below and be sure to follow Patrick Rodgers, *repeat repeat, Negro Justice, Caroline Bowman, Six One Tribe, Olivia Ladd, Taylor Cole, Lance Conzett, Larissa Maestro, Wes Davenport of No Country for New Nashville, Villin dot net, Rebecca Delius from Memento Stori, Mary Mancini from Lucy’s Record Shop, Megan Seling from Snack and Destroy, Kathryn Edwards, The Groove Records, Leanne Merritt, Vinyl Tap and maybe even yours truly, Michael Eades for more updates.

“Main Theme” by Upright T-Rex Music.
If you’re a regular reader of the Nashville Scene (and why wouldn’t you be?), you’ve likely already seen the debut of “Grenadine”, the official video for Heaven Honey’s latest single. However, it really bears repeating that if you haven’t seen it already, you need to partake ASAP.
The black-and-white piece was shot and edited by Hannah Gray Hall with styling from Juniper Jefferies. It is, to put it simply, a work of art. Heaven Honey has a long tradition of successfully partnering with visual artists that push the envelope of her work (see also “Total Abandon” and “Honeydew“) and “Grenadine” continues that practice, leaning further into abstract imagery and metaphor without losing an ounce of captivation.
Heaven Honey has always struck me as a bit of an enigma. The 2020 release of Total Abandon b/w Tommorow I’ll Try came out of nowhere; a fully formed artist with a razor sharp message about societal imbalances, sexuality, romance and a sound that strikes a balance between the melancholy and the darkly empowered. In the ensuring two years, that sharpness has only become more distinct and even more realized. I don’t know how she does it but “Grenadine” continues to push those boundaries and there doesn’t seem to be a misstep in sight. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Truth be told, there’s not a lot to know about Glisster just yet. However, what is known sets the stage for a rather exciting future. The project is the pseudonym of Brandon Highfill, a collaborative project bring in a host of additional musicians including Pat Sansone of Wilco, Carson Cody, Gavin Schriver, Ben Stix and Miqui Gutierrez. While Sansone certainly carries the most recognizable weight in that list, every individual contributor is clearly bringing their A game.
The debut offering, a double single entitled TOY, consists of an ambient opening track flowing directly into a bombastic krautrock jam brimming with falsetto vocals and blaring saxophones. A debut this strong is a real testament to the experience of the entire group of musicians. It’s a nod to familiar genres while staying entirely unique to itself. Frankly, it’s been on heavy rotation ever since we stumbled on it.
Since this is the debut release, there’s really no predicting what future tracks may sound like. It could continue down the path of All Krautrock All The Time (more than acceptable in my opinion) or it could veer into two minute Power Pop Gems (also intriguing). Regardless of where it goes, Glisster has our full attention.
