The year 2020 was an unprecedented time for everyone, including Bragg Jam. Last summer, we were forced to cancel our Concert Crawl for the first time in twenty years. As our all-volunteer board looks to the summer of 2021, we are faced with similar challenges and uncertainties. Many local venues remain shuttered or still have capacity caps in place. However, in the most authentic spirit of the organization, we must Bragg On. Bragg Jam will present for summer 2021, Bragg On, a free community concert on Coleman Hill. While Bragg On will be smaller in scale than our traditional concert crawl, we believe providing a place for the community to gather and enjoy live music is the best way to safely fulfill our mission of creating, curating, supporting, and promoting live music experiences. The concert will be free to attend and feature local, regional, and national talent as well as food, beverage, and promotional item sales. The free nature of Bragg On means we are relying on generous sponsors with a passion for community and a love of music to help make this event a reality and sustain Bragg Jam until we can sell out indoor venues once again. With a range of sponsorship levels, we hope you will choose to support Bragg Jam while we all keep calm and Bragg On together.” (Note: The following information is about Bragg Jam during a “normal” year. In 2021, Bragg On – a smaller, free concert on Coleman Hill — will be held in its place on July 31.) How Bragg Jam Began. Bragg Jam is a tribute to Macon musicians and brothers Brax and Tate Bragg. The brothers were killed in a 1999 car crash in Texas while on a cross-country trip. Friends and family gathered to remember the brothers in what turned into a big jam session. What is Bragg Jam? Bragg Jam has turned into the area’s largest music festival but it is still small enough to truly enjoy. However, it is a bit different than a traditional music festival where you have a few stages in one large outdoor environment, so read on for the tips you need to know. It’s a Lot to Take In. We went in 2017 and there were 19 different stages and more than 90 bands! That’s a lot of music. And that didn’t include the music pouring out of alleys from other venues. We didn’t even scratch the surface visiting only six of the venues, and one unaffiliated outdoor patio. Get the Schedule. Keep it Close. Be sure you have a brochure with the schedule and map of all the locations. The 19 different stages were located within different buildings in Macon. Many are bars, restaurant patios and the like. Some are normal concert venues, or special events spaces. Bragg Jam does offer a shuttle to the different venues.
