"We're always thinking about
what to do next. How do we stay
relevant and keep this going for
many years to come?" Olive said.
As this festival evolves, there are
some components that stay the
same. Brax's band, The Buckleys, get
together to play Brax's songs every
year to kick off the late July concert
crawl. What started as a way to
remember Brax and Tate has turned
into a true community event that
not only celebrates their lives, but
the life of music in Macon.
"When we were younger and
first started this, we knew what was
happening, but it's still amazing to
see what it has turned into," Heather
Evans said. "It's not easy to put on
a music festival this big. It's a lot
of work. Every time that it morphs
or grows into what it is is because
of the unique people on the board
with a vision. It turned into its own
entity where it could sustain itself.
It's kind of a legacy."
