**An Evening of Songs with Joseph Arthur & Abe Partridge live at Eddie's Attic!** *Joseph Arthur* Joseph Arthur is an American singer-songwriter and visual artist known for his groundbreaking live performances, blending music and painting into a singular, immersive experience. A pioneer of live looping since the 1990s, Arthur builds songs in real time using guitar, voice, pedals, drum pads, keyboards, and microphones — creating swirling, improvised orchestrations unlike anyone else. Discovered by Lou Reed and Peter Gabriel in 1996, Arthur has released fifteen albums and several EPs, and has founded or co-founded multiple projects including The Lonely Astronauts, Fistful Mercy (with Ben Harper and Dhani Harrison), RNDM (with Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam), Arthur Buck (with Peter Buck of R.E.M.), and Silverlites (with Rich Robinson, Peter Buck, and Barrett Martin). Arthur has found success on Triple A radio with songs like “Honey and the Moon” (featured in The O.C. and American Pie) and “In the Sun,” which has been covered by Michael Stipe, Chris Martin, and Peter Gabriel, and appeared in the film Saved. Drawing inspiration from artists ranging from Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, and Nick Drake to Nirvana, The Clash, and early hip hop, Joseph Arthur’s work is marked by rich compositions and dynamic live arrangements that place him among the most compelling American songwriters of the 21st century. Arthur’s upcoming releases include Arthur Buck 2 with Peter Buck, due October 2025, and a new solo album slated for early 2026. The first single, “Rise,” written on the day of Neil Peart’s passing, is an uplifting tribute to creativity, inspiration, and the pursuit of our dreams. \-- *Abe Partridge* Abe Partridge is a heralded musician, singer/songwriter, visual artist, and podcaster based in Mobile, Alabama. His 2018 debut, Cotton Fields and Blood For Days earned him rave reviews, with Tony Paris saying in The Bitter Southerner: "He plays guitar the same way he writes lyrics, bashing the strings with abandon until they are just about to come loose, then beautifully picking the notes until every last word falls into place. More to the point, Partridge writes to make you sit up and think. He wants to jar your reality. Sometimes, his lyrics are sly and subtle. Sometimes they come at you with a roar and thunder, as if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were approaching, and the heavens were opening up to herald a warning." Since the release of his debut, Partridge has toured relentlessly, including several tours of the Netherlands and the U.K. developing a reputation for moving, passionate, and sometimes comedic, performances at prestigious songwriter festivals such as 30A Songwriters Festival, Frank Brown Songwriters Festival, and Americanafest. He is a regular at the Bluebird Café in Nashville and Eddie’s Attic in Decatur. He has performed on the syndicated radio programs, Mountain Stage and Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour. He has shared the stage with Morgan Wade, Paul Thorn, Steve Poltz, Dan Bern, Jerry Joseph, Glen Phillips (Toad The Wet Sprocket), Tommy Stinson, Shawn Mullins, John Fullbright, and more. Most recently, Partridge and co-producer Ferrill Gibbs released the Alabama Astronaut podcast, where they explore songs previously undocumented at churches in Appalachia. The podcast finds Partridge chatting with Holiness preachers and looking into the practice of snake handling. It was in the Top Ten documentary podcasts on Apple Podcasts within days of its release and now has over 40k downloads and a 4.9-star rating. When Partridge is not writing or touring, he is also a highly acclaimed visual artist. His paintings, primarily acrylic on tarred board and watercolors, now hang in art galleries around the southeast and in the private collections of Tyler Childers, Mike Wolfe (American Pickers), Rick Hirsch (Wet Willie), and Tommy Prine. His artwork was featured in Stephen King’s 2019 sequel to The Shining - Dr. Sleep. He painted the cover art for Charlie Parr’s, Last Of The Better Days Ahead (Smithsonian Folkways). He also created art for Tyler Childers’ 2022 release, Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven? American Songwriter Magazine said, “Abe Partridge has established himself as one of the most respected songwriters and visual folk artists in the southeast.” In November of 2022, Partridge released the EP Alabama Skies on Baldwin Co. Public Records label which includes "Abe Partridge’s 403d Freakout". Partridge told Songfacts the story behind the song: " 'Abe Partridge's 403d Freakout' was a song I wrote in about 20 minutes. It took me two weeks to make it rhyme, and then it took me about six months to learn it. I just sat and wrote a couple of pages of thoughts as they came to me. It was my attempt at describing my thoughts chronologically as they sometimes occur in my head before I filter them. It is those thoughts that I often have if I allow myself to mentally wander." Partridge's exhibit With Signs Following was on exhibition at the Alabama Contemporary Art Center in Mobile, AL from January 13 - May 20 of 2023 and is expected to travel to other city contemporary art centers in the next few years. His full-length studio album, Love In The Dark, on BCPR label, was released on May 12, 2023. Presented by Eddie's Attic. This is an all ages event.
