Doors 7, Show 8

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.

Originating in the heart of Virginia, James River Junction delivers a distinctive blend of southern rock and

americana, laced with bluesy grit and raw, unpolished energy.

Fronted by lead singer and songwriter Daniel Glymph, the band’s sound is driven by the searing guitar

work of Michael Nadder and the dynamic rhythm section of Henry Liscio (bass) and Matthew Slater

(drums). Multi-instrumentalist Brady Donovan rounds out the lineup on keys and guitar, adding depth

and texture to the band’s evolving sound.

Since forming in 2022, JRJ has built a reputation for their authentic, high-energy performances and

undeniable chemistry on stage. In 2023, they released their debut EP Too Much Time, followed by their

2024 sophomore release Nowhere Bound, a 5-song collection that captures the heart of their roots-

driven, modern Southern Rock sound.
