**Willi Carlisle with special guest Charlie Overman live at Eddie's Attic!** WILLI CARLISLE is a poet and a folk singer for the people, but his extraordinary gift for turning a phrase isn't about high falutin' pontificatin'; it's about looking out for one another and connecting through our shared human condition. Born and raised on the Midwestern plains, Carlisle is a product of the punk to folk music pipeline that’s long fueled frustrated young men looking to resist. After falling for the rich ballads and tunes of the Ozarks, where he now lives, he began examining the full spectrum of American musical history. This insatiable stylistic diversity is obvious in his wildly raucous live performances, where songs range from sardonic trucker-ballads like “Vanlife” to the heartbreaking queer waltz “Life on the Fence,” to an existential talkin’ blues about a panic attack in Walmart’s aisle five. With guitar, fiddle, button-box, banjo, harmonicas, rhythm-bones, and Willi’s booming baritone, this is bonafide populist folk music in the tradition of cowboys, frontier fiddlers, and tall-tale tellers. Carlisle recognizes that the only thing holding us back from greatness is each other. With a quick wit and big sing-alongs, these folksongs bring us a step closer to breaking down our divides. *Charlie Overman is a singer-songwriter who grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and has roots in southeast Kentucky. With a deep interest in old-time music, folk songwriters, traditional country music, and vintage rock n’ roll and punk music, Charlie has synthesized his influences into a rich and unique batch of original songs, telling his own, unique stories and creating his own, unique brand of lyrically driven country and rock and roll music. His lyrics hold water and his sound is all his own.* Presented by Eddie's Attic. This is an all ages event.
