Wim Tapley & The Cannons w/ Five Door Sedan and Andrew Montana

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 the Georgia Theatre and the 9:30 Club, 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, 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. 

Five Door Sedan is a progressive indie rock group from Charleston, SC.

Tight rhythms, deep lyrics, and passionate playing make this band a powerhouse of musicality.

In their debut year they’ve relentlessly toured the southeast and Midwest playing for hundreds of music lovers in college towns like Athens, Gainesville, Boone, Savannah, Indianapolis, Nashville, Jacksonville, Columbia, and Charleston.
