This is not a VNA event, but we love The Big House and are so proud to have this wonderful museum in our neighborhood!
The Allman Brothers Band Museum at The Big House will host the annual Brothers and Sisters Jam on February 15 at The Crazy Bull in Macon, Georgia. The event will feature a LIVE and SILENT AUCTION as well as a concert to help raise money for The Big House Museum. Tables can be purchased for $300-$750.00 and individual tickets can be purchased for $50.00. Table sponsors will receive a VIP party and all ticket purchases receive a one- year membership to The Allman Brothers Band Museum at The Big House.
Bands performing at this year’s event are regional favorites Vic Stanley and Friends and Bo Henry Band. The evening will start with local musician Vic Stanley and Friends taking the stage. With Vic you know you will get a powerful acoustic set with original and familiar tunes in the mix. After the auction concludes, be prepared to show off your dancing skills. Bo Henry Band will take the stage to cap the evening off. Bo Henry Band is self-described as a soul, blues, Southern rock and country mix. Formed in 1997, the band has been touring for more the 15 years. Despite changing a few members over the years, the core group has stayed with the band.

The Allman Brothers Band Museum at The Big House is one of Macon’s favorite tourist destinations. The house, now a museum and venue space was once the place where members of The Allman Brothers Band, their families, friends and roadies lived, worked and played from 1970 to 1973. We are more than a museum, in partnership with local agencies that focus their energies on children in need; The Big House provides free hand drumming lessons. By sponsoring concerts, The Big House provides a historic venue for local entertainers to share their music with the community.
