In Music City, it turns out DJ'ing is part of mayoral politics.

On his way to victory in the mayor's race, O'Connell stopped by Grimey's record store this summer for a DJ set.

  • He followed in the footsteps of former Mayor Megan Barry, who DJ'd at Grimey's in 2016.

Future mayoral hopefuls, take note: "All the coolest mayors DJ at Grimey's," store co-owner Doyle Davis tells Axios.
