Gig Guide

The Touch bill themselves as a “dark synth pop ensemble,” incorporating elements of dance, pop and prog. They’re straight outta Nashville and have perhaps the most un-Google-able band name on the market. They’ll be joined by locals Analog Existence, purveyors of the post-rock experience. Frontman Daniel McCullers explains his music this way: “I love to see the artist’s hand in a painting. When you can feel the brush stroke, it’s like you are there with the artist creating it. It isn’t perfect and you know that that is the only copy existing. I want to make music with fingerprints and imperfect brushstrokes.” 7 p.m. $5.

Acoustic Productions presents a very special night of Irish music. It’s a house show, and it’s a potluck dinner. At the time of this writing, the menu already looks pretty choice. Steve is bringing sweet potatoes and baked beans. Jennifer is bringing fruit salad. Pam is bringing Irish stew for that authentic touch. Leslie is bringing “good beer.” Let’s hope it’s the kind of High Life that comes in a bottle. Bullock has been described as a “Celtic guitar God, and Clancy formerly lent her vocal talents to the band Cherish the Ladies. RSVP at acousticproductions.com to get all the pertinent info. 7:30 p.m. $20 suggested donation.

Are you someone who finds the term “redneck” endearing rather than insulting? Are your morals a slight bit looser than average? Do you like to get rowdy and yell at random objects? If the answer to any of these questions is a resounding yes, then Wheeler Walker might be the show for you. Armed with an attitude borrowed from Waylon and Willie and song titles that’ll make your mama blush, the self-proclaimed “Michelangelo of Country Music” is coming to the Capitol to bring real music back to the people. He’s been dropped from every “respectable” label in Nashville, and he has no regrets. But buy tickets anyways. If the tour doesn’t do well, he might have to move back in with his mom, which would be awkward. Doors: 7 p.m./Show: 8 p.m. $15.

Call it indie pop, call it electronic rock, call it whatever. The guys in Moon Taxi probably don’t care. They’re too busy relentlessly touring and constantly expanding their sound to be pinned down by any sort of genre label. The band is a Macon favorite, and fans within the city have seen the band grow from playing small stages in crowded bars to headlining Bragg Jam last year. The band is poised for even more growth, as their newest record, “Daybreaker,” was produced by Jacquire King, who’s known for his work with folks like Kings of Leon, Modest Mouse and Tom Waits. Doors: 7 p.m./Show: 8 p.m. $17-$20.

Larry Howard is best known around Macon as the man who founded the Capricorn and Southern rock favorites Grinderswitch. He’s unfortunately been diagnosed with cancer recently, and a few of his old friends are getting together for an evening of music to help him with his medical bills. The lineup includes names like Tommy Talton, Scott Boyer, Bonnie Bramlett, Donna Hall, Paul Hornsby, Eddie Stone and Rick Burnett. It’s good music for a good cause. 5 p.m. $20-$25.
