Sterling Waite & the Cotton Avenue Hustlers at Grant’s Lounge

Grant’s Lounge has quickly become a hotbed of activity again and a locals favorite hangout. Bands can’t wait to take the famous stage where the Allman Brothers made a name for themselves. Sterling Waite brings his picking and grinning Cotton Avenue Hustlers to Grant’s for a night of Macon-made bluegrass and folk music. 21 and up. 9 p.m. $5.

Tedo Stone at the Hummingbird Stage and Taproom

Atlanta based Tedo Stone might as well call Macon his second home. He’s as much a regular contributor to Macon’s music scene as many of the locally based bands. His music stretches across psychedelic, country and indie-rock, and he names Otis Redding, John Prine and David Bowie amongst his biggest influences. That’s some far reaching love of music. 21 and up. 10 p.m. $5.

Pierce Edens at the Rookery

Pierce Edens grew up in Asheville, N.C., and the only music he heard was the local folk mountain music and whatever made it through the car radio. When he made it into his teen years, he discovered punk. When he picked up a guitar and started playing, he found he was filled with a combination of the two. High energy storytelling backed with the sounds of the mountains. He stops by Macon to play the Rookery’s growing service industry night. 21 and up. 10 p.m. Free.
