Founded in 1992 by Eddie Owen,[1] it is a venue for both local musical talent and musicians of some acclaim who often got their start in the Atlanta area.

Artists who developed their fanbase at Eddie's Attic include Shawn Mullins, Sugarland, Michelle Malone, Justin Bieber, disappear fear, The Civil Wars, John Mayer, Collective Soul, Ed Roland, and Crystal Bowersox.

Eddie's Attic hosts a weekly open mic contest in which performers from around the United States compete; the winners advance to the semi-annual Open Mic Shootout, with a $1,000 grand prize at stake.

In November 2011, Ephlin sold the club to concert promoter Alex Cooley and his business partner Dave Mattingly.
