Travis Denning

Friday

Travis Denning is starting to get around the Macon scene. He just debuted his own band in Macon last week, but before that he has been playing guitar with Homeless Hill. Now, he seems to be on a bit of a roll as he takes his new sound to north Macon and Mellow Mushroom. This country, bluesy rocker even enlists the help of another Macon up-and-comer, Josh Graff, in the band. Some are saying he’s Macon’s next big thing. Give him a listen and find out for yourself. 9 p.m.

Stonerider and Aaron Irons

Saturday

Years ago, there were a couple of bands called the Liabilities and the Pinx who would play in Macon and put on high-energy shows that would get everybody all wound up and having a good time. However, as bands go, they split up and went different ways. Now, Adam McIntyre (of the Pinx) brings his new band, Stonerider, to Macon for the first time. They are joined by Aaron Irons (of the Liabilities), who has decided to come out of seclusion and put his great song writing on stage again. Get ready for a night of good time rock ’n’ roll at the Hummingbird with some honky tonk tinges. 10 p.m. 21 and up. $5.
