Bragg Jam's organizers presented a check for $25,000 to the expansion of the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail today in memory of Brax and Tate Bragg. Since Bragg Jam's inception, proceeds contributed from the festival have nearly reached $150,000 towards the Trail. At the check presentation, Bragg Jam announced it will be handing over the helm of the Fly South Festival to the local community organization Friends of the Ocmulgee Trail. 

Bragg Jam's Board President Brad Evans said, "Bragg Jam was a springboard for Fly South's debut. Now we have Friends of the Ocmulgee Trail investing their resources to take the event to the next level at Amerson Water Works Park. It not only benefits the mission to the Trail, but it demonstrates the benefit of community organizations working together."

The Fly South Festival will take place at Porter Pavillon in Macon's Amerson Water Works Park on Saturday, Nov. 6. Headling the festival is the Marshall Tucker Band. For more information, visit FlySouthFest.com.

As the old adage goes: “the show must go on,” and within hours of the Constellations' cancellation for another gig, local bands Mag Tard and Citizen Insane volunteered their services free of charge. Combined with Jubee and the Morning After, this show has turned out to be a showcase of not only local talent, but a willingness to work together to make things happen. Bragg Jam Presents Jubee & the Morning After with Mag Tard, Citizen Insane and DJ Old Flame with special guests this Saturday, January 29 at the Cox Capitol Theatre. Tickets are now $5 at the door. Doors open at 8 p.m.
