All-ages venue Drkmttr celebrated its 10th anniversary and its second year as a federally recognized nonprofit last year. That’s a testament to the work organizers put in to make a space where everyone can participate in the music community and see how it intersects with other communities. Now you’ve got a new chance to show your support via the venue’s online auction called Pinkies Out, live now, and a related brunch event this weekend.
The online auction via GiveButter features an impressive array of stuff including posters from Hatch Show Print, more than a dozen pieces of original art including a miniature rendering of Drkmttr’s cool stage backdrop and a gift card/membership category with offerings like a one-year dual membership to the Belcourt. There’s a signed vinyl test pressing of Parts I and II of Hayley Williams’ solo debut Petals for Armor, a Gibson acoustic guitar, a pedal from local effects company Rude Tech and lots more.
You can place your bids until the auction closes at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 12. That day, you can also celebrate the auction wrapping up during a special benefit brunch party at Drkmttr. Tickets are $30 each and will get you snacks by Best of Nashville-recognized chef (and ace freelance photographer) Diana Lee Zadlo and cocktails and/or mocktails from Merry Co. Musician-about-town (and convincing Santa Claus) Bruce Ervin will provide the live ambient soundtrack.
Brunch begins at 11 a.m. on Sunday. Note that though it is thematically linked to the auction, this is a separate fundraiser: Buying a ticket does not place a bid on the auction items, and you don’t have to buy a ticket to bid.
