Of all the performances I’ve seen at Eddie’s Attic, Marc Cohn’s late show there last night was absolutely the best I’ve seen within those four walls. Who knew you could attempt head-banging to “29 Ways” and “Paper Walls”?

Not to mention his wry wit and high-level of sarcasm were right up my alley.  “But I’m not going to play that song you all got married to!”  Ha!

Freakin’ awesome show.

Somebody pinch me. One of my absolute favorite musicians is coming to Eddie’s Attic on Saturday, September 20th!

Marc Cohn will play both an early and late show at the Attic, on tour supporting his first album in 10 years, Join the Parade. Tickets are more expensive than usual at $35 a pop for General Admission and $150 for a table of 4. Get them here while they last.

Many people know Cohn mainly for his early hit single, Walking in Memphis, or more recently for surviving being shot in the head by a carjacker in 2005. But to me, and a very loyal following of fans who have listened to his three albums continually, waiting 10 years for a fourth, Cohn is one of the great songwriters of his time. He rarely tours (though I think this is his second trip to Atlanta in as many years) so a chance to see him in such a personal venue like Eddie’s is a great stroke of luck for Decatur.
