Hymn For Her at the Rookery

This husband and wife duo travels the road in a 1961 Airstream stopping and playing gigs all along the way. The last few times they played in Macon it was to really small crowds who were blown away by the performances. Their arsenal of instruments reads like a hoedown shopping list: harmonica, cigar box guitar, banjo, broomstick bass, bass drum and high-hat. They will set Friday night on fire at the Rookery. This is one of this weekend’s must see shows. 10 p.m. 21 and up. Free.

Red Zeppelin and Back City Woods at the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom

In about one of the oddest combinations you will see in Macon, the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom has teamed up Macon favorites Back City Woods, with their alt-bluegrass stylings, with Red Zeppelin, a Led Zeppelin tribute band from Atlanta. This night may prove to be more fun than anyone can expect from two radically different bands. 10 p.m. 21 and up. $5.

Homeless Hill at the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom

Homeless Hill is riding high after the release of their first CD and performing at Bragg Jam. Now, the up and coming Macon band brings it to the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom. The guys from Homeless Hill stay busy not only working together as a band, but splintering off to work on side projects with other Macon musicians as well, helping to keep Macon’s music scene healthy and diverse. Their hard driving style of contemporary rock is full of youthful energy, perfect for a Saturday night. 10 p.m. 21 and up. $5.

Sunday September 16

Trick Daddy@ Whiskey River

Trick love the kids! If you understood what I just said, then head on over to Whiskey River on Sunday. Whiskey River continues to surprise us as they book acts that seem like a no-brainer in Macon and yet no one else has thought to do it. Obviously it’s working, because they continue to bring quality urban acts like Miami’s Trick Daddy. He will be joined by Mykko Montana. 9 p.m. Tickets available at Habersham Music or the Whiskey River Box Office.
