Wilder Adkins

From the venue:

Wilder Adkins live at Eddie's Attic!

Mining a devotional folk idiom that’s split between his own original material and reimagined contemporary takes on Gospel-based tunes dating back a century or more, Adkins’ introspective yet hopeful demeanor has earned him national recognition for his songwriting abilities, landing him on revered stages from Lincoln Center and Sundance Film Festival to the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. Originally from Georgia and a onetime high school bandmate of Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt, since settling in Alabama Adkins has also gotten to work alongside some of Birmingham’s leading lights, including country blues picker Early James and Bright Eyes collaborator Taylor Hollingsworth.
