Third Man Records

On the Grid : Third Man Records

"This is my personal favorite place to catch a show in town. It's a four-headed hydra that encompasses the world headquarters for Jack White's record label, a vinyl record shop, venue, and recording studio. While catching a show,you'll have the chance to have your voice immortalized as crowd noise in vinyl. Be sure to fight every urge that comes over you to shout Freebird. That's very lame and only funny in your head. It's probably a destination venue for your favorite touring act and you don't even know it. Every show is recorded live-to-acetate for a live album release of the performance on Third Man's record label. It fights the good fight against digital music and constantly reminds you that your record player's not dead. It's gnarly loud, so if the band you're seeing get's heavy, you're probably gonna need some ear plugs. The 89-year-old you will thank you, at the same time trying to assimilate you because they're a cyborg from the future trying to destroy mankind." - ST8MNT

"A Little Bit Country, a Little Bit Rock and Roll Third Man Records, the Nashville outpost of musician Jack White's record label and store, is hard to define. It's both a retail outlet for vinyl and offices for hislabel, sure, but it also includes a "novelty lounge" with coin-operated video jukeboxes and whimsical contraptions. What draws the crowds, though, is Third Man'smusic venue (decked out with curved blue walls adorned withtaxidermy), whichregularly holdslive performances, shows movies, and hosts record-release events. Visitors also can step into thetiny Record Booth, a refurbished 1947 Voice-o-Graph machine, to record up to two minutes of audio that they can take home on a 6-inch phonograph disc."

"Jack White—of White Stripes fame—initially launched Third Man Records in Detroit. The label moved to Nashville in 2009 and is now a sprawling complex that includes a record store, a distribution center, and a photo studio, as well as the actual offices. Come see a show, or book a tour to learn the ins and outs of the modern music industry."
