Macon punches well above its size on music history: it’s the hometown of Otis Redding and the base the Allman Brothers Band called home, and both legacies are still walkable rather than just plaqued over — their houses and old haunts remain open to visitors. The city backs that history up nightly, with live music somewhere downtown every single night of the week. It reads less like a museum piece and more like a scene that never fully stopped.
