Eddie's Attic, the open mic that turned out John Mayer and Shawn Mullins
1992

Eddie Owen opened this listening room a block off the Decatur square in 1992 and ran it on the rule that the room stays quiet while someone is playing. John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, Sugarland, Collective Soul and the Civil Wars all built early followings on its stage. The weekly open mic still feeds a twice-yearly shootout with a cash prize, and past winners include several of those names.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
