Shhh! Travelocity taps Eddie’s Attic as ‘Top Insider Spot’
July 13th, 2007 by Brian Holcomb in Music newsEddie’s Attic likes to boast about being the “premiere acoustic music venue” in the South for aspiring singer/songwriters. And it’s right. Eddie’s Attic attracts great musicians and juxtaposes them with great food and a talking policy required for such a setting: Shut up, shut up, for God’s sake, shut up! So it’s no surprise that Travelocity and IgoUgo have named Eddie’s as “A Top Insider Spot” for Georgia in their 2007 edition of “Local Secrets, Big Finds.”
Here’s the thing about Eddie’s new award: We already knew that! With acts like the Verve Pipe’s Brian Vander Ark, Shawn Mullins, Emerson Hart and the Black Crowes previously performing in such an intimate setting, is it any wonder Eddie’s was given the award? Hopefully this award won’t compromise Eddie’s as a local venue, and put a huge flag atop the roof alerting the horrid Atlanta tourists that this place has great acts and is intimate — as if it were shouted through a bullhorn: “This place is INTIMATE!”
All in all, it’s just a little more for Eddie’s to boast about as it continues to bring great music to Decatur and Atlanta.

Crucial to the “shut up” policy’s success — Eddie’s Attic has two bars. If you want to talk with your friends, you don’t have to leave the building, you just have to walk to the next room.
If only I liked acoustic singer-songwriters.
