Macon's annual Bragg Jam, held on July 28, 2007, was again a stellar success. Bragg Jam always draws a lot of Middle Georgia acts, many who were friends with Brax and Taylor "Tate" Bragg, the brothers the event commemorates.
The Bragg brothers were driving back from Texas in July 1999 when they died in a car accident. They were supposed to perform a gig at The Rookery that weekend.
Other musicians performed a jam in tribute to the brothers, and the proceeds from the night went to the Ocmulgee Trail. That was the modest beginning of Bragg Jam, which has grown more ambitious every year.
Our friend in Macon, John Charles Griffin was kind enough to share the following photos from this year's Jam. All photos by Griffin.
