Man, I’m getting behind on my posting! Okay, here goes….going to this show was pretty much a no brainer for me. Hotplate is possibly my current favorite Savannah band, as I am a total sucker for the type of experimental/math/complex…
The non-profit Bragg Jam — which was founded in honor of Brax and Tate Bragg as a Macon community event and fundraiser for the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail — has grown dramatically in recent years. The 2015 concert crawl on Saturday…
