Tommy Womack

Tommy Womack has been barnstorming the country playing clubs and concerts for way over twenty years now. In the eighties, he spilled a lot of beer and broke a lot of guitar strings with Kentucky-based college radio darlings Government Cheese. In the early ‘90s he spent two years with Nashville’s critically acclaimed the bis-quits. Since then there have been 5 solo records and a mellowing from once loud and rude punker to an older, wiser singer-songwriter.

But for all his musical pursuits, Womack is probably best-known for his cult classic 1995 memoir Cheese Chronicles: The True Story of a Rock and Roll Band You’ve Never Heard Of.

Womack will be performing at Eddie’s Attic on Saturday, Sept. 2nd as part of the Decatur Book Festival, as well as giving a reading earlier that day.

Last year, Womack teamed up with acclaimed guitarist and long-time friend Will Kimbrough in the band Daddy, who released At The Women’s Club last year. His novella, The Lavender Boys & Elsie, is being readied for publication later this year and his recently recorded next CD, There, I Said It!, is scheduled for a 2007 release. Womack can also be seen playing guitar for popular singer-songwriter Todd Snider, who has recorded several of Womack’s tunes.
