The Stews return to Victory North for another round of a** kicking
rock and roll blending influences of the Allmans, Zeppelin and Pink
Floyd THE STEWS BIO After releasing their debut album, What Was, in
April of 2022, The Stews have been a non-stop touring machine. Playing
hundreds of shows a year has allowed them to hone in their musical and
songwriting skills alike. With 2023 summer tour sellouts ranging from
Washington DC’s 9:30 Club, Charleston’s Windjammer, New York
City’s Bowery Ballroom, and countless more, The Stews have proven
that they are a musical force to be reckoned with. The summer tour
even featured a venue record-breaking 800+ day-of-show tickets sold at
Avondale Brewing in Birmingham, AL. In addition to the aforementioned
legendary venues, The Stews played to packed out, ravenous crowds at
Bonnaroo, Sweetwater 420Fest, and Roosterwalk. The band drove straight
from their summer tour finale at Appleton, Wisconsin’s Mile of Music
to meet up with Moon Taxi to support their fall tour. After months on
the roading supporting Moon Taxi, the band returned home to
Charleston, SC to finish up their second studio album. With thousands
of tickets sold across a three night NYE run in Charlotte, Savannah,
and Atlanta, the band capped off a record breaking year. In July of
2024, The Stews released their second full-length LP, “Chicken
Fight”. The album is a daring body of work that can’t be confined
to one genre, as fans will find songs reminiscent of The Allman
Brothers, Audioslave, Pink Floyd, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise to name
a few. Wim Tapley and the Cannons Bio 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.
