Though it's been open since late 2018, Macon's Dueling Piano Bar was recently acquired by Evan "TJ" Jones, the son of Evan and the late Patti Jones, who together led the Family Affair band for nearly 50 years. For the uninitiated, TJ describes the experience as "a 100% crowd-driven piano show. Songs don't get play unless requested by the audience and no song is off the table. It's immersive, exciting, people sing along and the pianists (including weekly regular Jim Havens) have years of experience in driving crowd involvement. It's like going to a concert where every band you've ever heard is there." TJ plans to expand programming, including the addition of live bands and a multi-week competitive jam series with cash prizes. HUMMINGBIRD STAGE AND TAPROOM 430 CHERRY ST. The 'Bird combines a dive bar decadence with an affinity for darts, a deference to PBR and a love for loud live music on the weekends. What's not to like? On Friday, July 15, BAS, the popular Middle Georgia six-piece band, returns for a night of deep grooves and psychedelic vibes. PARISH ON CHERRY 580 CHERRY ST.
