Moon Taxi, Futurebirds, more bands added to Bragg Jam lineup for July 25 in Macon

I was among a busload of Savannahians that went to Bragg Jam in July 2014 (click here for a recap of the day with tons of photos), and I know that many of us will be going to Macon for this year’s festival on July 25th. (Update: click here to buy $55 tickets for the Bragg Jam excursion sponsored by MusicFile Productions. The cost includes roundtrip fare on a motor coach leaving Savannah about 11:30 a.m., a festival pass, lunch, and beverages on the trip.)

Just yesterday, Bragg Jam announced the full lineup with the additions of Moon Taxi, Futurebirds, and others. It’s basically a huge pub crawl — the festival relies heavily on downtown Macon’s existing venues — with a diverse array of styles all within very short walks of each other. I have to say that last year was also really hot — sometimes hotter and more humid inside clubs than outside — and I never did make it make it into Cox Capitol Theatre because of long, slow-moving lines, but all of us had a grand time. Downtown Macon is gorgeous if rundown in some spots — it’s a well-spring of possibility.

That’s a huge single day lineup (click here for an alphabetical listing with links), and I’m not going to try to recap it here, but I’m especially excited by a few of those acts a few lines down that I’ve already seen, like Family and Friends, New Madrid, T. Hardy Morris & the Hardknocks, Margo & The Pricetags, Besides Daniel, and Turbo Fruits. Also, very excited to see Andrew Combs and Wreckless Eric. Yes, Wreckless Eric:

I’m looking forward to checking out some of the other acts in the lineup — no telling what sorts of gems can be discovered amidst that huge list — but for now, how about yet another hissing lawns photo gallery?!
