**Wim Tapley and the Cannons with special guests Andrew Montana and Julia Barfield live at Eddie's Attic!** Based in Athens, Georgia, Wim Tapley came of age playing shows in Washington D.C. where he honed his voice with the passion of a born troubadour. Since 2021, Wim and his live band The Cannons have called Athens home. His first week in Georgia, he made his way onto a local bill, etching a name for himself as a fresh and favorite hometown voice. He is ardently received by his ever-growing following at legendary venues like Eddie’s Attic and the Georgia Theatre, along with tours across the East Coast. Firmly rooted in Americana and dashed with catchy pop sensibilities, the swinging depths of neo-soul, and a sprinkling of riotous horns, Wim’s arresting sound is as fresh as it is ageless, as fevered as it is raucous fun. A sonic westward expansion of fuzzed-out guitars, saloon pianos, defiant horns, and dusty vocals, his discography blazes a new take on folk and soul while honoring the songwriting giants that paved the way before him like Jason Isbell, Bill Withers, and Chris Stapleton. Follow Wim on Spotify and Instagram and never miss out on the musical misadventures of the East Coast’s resident space cowboy. *Julia Barfield is an Athens, GA-based singer-songwriter with roots in the foothills of the North Georgia mountains. Since arriving in Athens in 2023, Julia has become a celebrated local voice and a true fixture of the vibrant Athens music scene.* *Inspired by the lyric-driven Americana of strongholds like Gillian Welch and Lucinda Williams and tinged with indie and alternative rock, Julia writes songs that can break hearts and mend them back together with the casual conviction of a young person making sense of her inner and outer worlds. Sometimes delivering powerful, electrified alt-country and sometimes softly picking an acoustic guitar, Julia's music is made of equal parts hopefulness and heartache— all delivered with a warm, weathered voice and distinctly southern inflection that says "Come on in and stay a while."* *Julia’s debut 6-song EP, “Keep to Me”, was recorded locally in Athens, GA at Chase Park Transduction and was released in February 2025.* Presented by Eddie's Attic. This is an all ages event.
