BRAGG JAM

It has become the biggest music festival of the year here in Central Georgia.

And don’t begin to compare it with what appears to be the late and unlamented Macon Heritage and Music Festival which last year drew three hundred and twenty-five souls. Total. It was, as we have said endlessly, a total bust. The Mayor’s office has not seen fit to respond to our questions on the subject. We assume, therefore, the Heritage is dead, defunct, kaput, taking the eternal dirt nap, down for the long count.

But there is Bragg. Bragg Jam. A grass roots, down home party that is exploding on the Macon scene like nothing since Sherman came this way in ’64…..that’s 1864 for all you kiddies still held prisoner by the something less than adequate Bibb County School System.

Only in its seventh year, what started as a tribute to two young musician brothers, Brax and Tate Bragg, has become a full-fledged festival recognized nationally. This year, Friday and Saturday, will witness some forty musical acts coming to our corner of the universe turning it into something less boring, less blighted, and much more positive.
