Eddie's Attic
Eddie's Attic is a music club in Decatur, Georgia. Founded in 1992 by Eddie Owen,[1] it is a venue for both local musical talent and musicians of some acclaim who often got their start in the Atlanta area. Artists who developed their fanbase at Eddie's Attic include Shawn Mullins, Sugarland and John Mayer. Eddie's Attic also hosts a bi-annual songwriting contest, the Eddie's Attic Open Mic Shootout, where musical acts from around the United States compete to win a $1000 prize. Former winners of the contest include John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, Clay Cook, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, Jennifer Daniels[2] and The Brilliant Inventions.
In March 2002, Owen sold the business to Todd Van Sickle, (husband of Sugarland member Jennifer Nettles)[3] who in turn sold the business to Bob Ephlin in June 2005.
