The H&H Restaurant, Macon
mamalouise.com
"Mama Louise" Hudson has been happily feeding folks at the H&H at 807 Forsyth Street in Macon since the late 60's. Serving up “home cooked” food in a casual, comfortable setting "where everyone knows your name" has been Mama Louise’s specialty for many years. Her regulars wouldn’t dare miss out on her fried chicken, baked ham, collard greens and black-eyed peas.
The Allman Brothers Band wouldn’t dream of not visiting Mama Louise while they were at home in Macon.
Grant's Lounge, Macon

Floyd Miles
"Some people sing from the heart. Some people sing from the soul. And
some people sing just from the mind. Floyd Miles, a friend of mine for
40 years sings from all three. He taught me how to sing the blues and
deeply influenced my phrasing and delivery" ........
Gregg Allman
Lee Roy Parnell
Lee Roy Parnell is among
the elite few who can be identified as a triple threat: an ace guitarist
as well as a distinctive singer and hit songwriter. Parnell has garnered
the respect of fans and industry veterans alike with his soulful vocals
and award-winning slide guitar playing. His music runs the gamut of
diversity: blue-eyed soul, Delta blues, road house rock, Southern boogie,
Texas swing, and gospel defying conventional classification. He draws from
a broad range of music sources and combines them with seamless dexterity.
Lee Roy Parnell was our headlining artist for GABBAfest '03.

running right on time”. Grinderswitch performed on the Douglass

Highway
This rocking band from Crown Point, Indiana made their first appearance at

Highway invites you to join them “for a magical experience along a
forgotten path that ascends to the peak of excitement, where raw body and
soul unite in the euphoric passion of music”.

Caroline brings bluesy vocals and a masterful guitar to bear on songs
ranging from the poignant to the brash and rollicking, creating an
unflinchingly honest, unabashedly sensual brand of folk where blues,
country, and rock elements coexist.

as a trio with guitars (acoustic, electric & slide), piano, tambourines,
drums & percussion. Ricky & Micol also perform in the original
duo format as well.
