Jerry Lee Lewis to Perform at Third Man Records Store on Record Store Day

Everyone’s favorite day of the year – Record Store Day – is nearly upon us, and Jack White’s Third Man Records has announced that Jerry Lee Lewis will be playing a one-off performance at the label’s store in Nashville for the occasion.

The performance will be recorded direct to analogue tape with White producing the recording. It will then be pressed, packaged and released within weeks. The performance goes down at 11:30 a.m. on April 16.
