Hailing from Nashville’s DIY scene, Styrofoam Winos are an exploratory folk trio composed of Joe Kenkel, Trevor Nikrant and Lou Turner. The group is known for a musical synergism that comes as a byproduct of its members’ tight-knit friendship. The three rotate vocals and instruments regularly on stage, cultivating a communal energy for live audiences that mirrors the van life attitude they live by offstage. The band’s Athens show is the penultimate stop on a U.S. tour supporting the release of its sophomore studio album Real Time. Aquarium Drunkard contributor Chad Depasquale describes the record, which was cut live to tape, as “an endearing and invigorating collection of shaggy Southern rock and dusty, woolen folk.” Styrofoam Winos will be joined by local acts Little Gold and Winston Barbe, as well as Cash Langdon, who is on tour from Birmingham, AL.
