This week is a good time to get out and support hard-working musicians as they perform at venues of all sizes across Middle Georgia. GABBAfest returns to Macon with four days of music and special events starting on Thursday, paying homage to one of the best southern rock bands ever, The Allman Brothers Band (see the full schedule near the bottom of the page). Bands with creative names like Mom Brain and Gray City Limits will be out there showing off their skills as well. Music lover Jim Webb has once again compiled the following comprehensive list of shows to help you find the magic of live music this week in the heart of Georgia.
