**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.
