Willie Watson W/ Special Guest William Matheny at Eddie's Attic

From the venue:

Willie Watson live at Eddie's Attic!

Willie Watson is a revered folk singer and songwriter known for his roots-deep voice, emotional honesty, and deep connection to the American songbook. A founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show, Watson has spent decades steeped in traditional folk and Americana, later collaborating closely with Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.

With his self-titled album Willie Watson, he steps fully into his own songwriting for the first time, sharing hard-won stories of heartbreak, sobriety, and growth. Backed by a subtle band of world-class players, Watson blends timeless folk traditions with personal reckoning, creating songs that feel both ancient and urgently human.

This is folk music as revelation — stripped down, deeply felt, and built to last.
