The fabled building in Macon, Georgia where many Southern Rock's most iconic songs and albums were recorded has been saved from the wrecking ball and will reopen as both a museum and working studio by the end of 2019.
The studios the late Phil Walden, his brother Alan and Frank Fenter teamed-up to operate became a second home in Macon for the Allman Brothers Band and attracted many of the other southern bands and artists of the 70's, including the Marshall Tucker Band, Wet Willie, Elvin Bishop, Grinderswitch, Cowboy, the Outlaws, Delbert McClinton, the Dixie Dregs, Stillwater and Sea Level.
$2 million in foundation funding with additional assistance assistance from Mercer University will transform the building listed as a Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation 'Places in Peril' structure into a museum of instruments, equipment and memorabilia related to the albums and musicians that made musical history in it and a music incubator offering more than a dozen rehearsal spaces available on a round the clock basis.
The re-opening of the Capricorn building is scheduled, for December 3 and will feature tours and live music.

Just days after being booked to pinch hit for the Rolling Stones at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival while Mick Jagger recovers from a heart valve procedure, Fleetwood Mac has pulled out of the headlining slot on May 2 to give Stevie Nicks time to recover from a severe case of the flu.
Mick Jagger is well on his way to recovering after having a heart valve issue tended to at Presbyterian Hospital in New York last week.
Ozzy Osbourne is not doing nearly as well. The 70 year-old Black Sabbath veteran got off to a rough start this year, landing in an ICU due to a severe respiratory illness. A recent fall in his home has presented another setback that will sideline Osbourne for an undetermined amount of time, forcing postponement of his No More Tours 2, which had been scheduled to start in late May. Word is the tour's start is getting pushed all the way to February, 2020.
Here's one film we are def lookging forward to seeing!
Legendary Rolling Stones front man Mick Jagger underwent successful, minimally invasive heart surgery to address a leaky heart valve at Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. The procedure did not require the kind of full-scale operation that would have sidelined Jagger a good deal longer. The band will still miss the Jazz & Heritage Festival gig scheduled for May 2 (Fleetwood Mac is stepping into that headline slot), and at least the early dates on their North American will need to be rescheduled, but overall, we're happy to pass along that things are looking a lot better than they did for Mick and the band just a few days ago.
The MGM Grand has landed the Eagles only 2019 North American tour dates. The two Vegas concerts will feature the group performing it's 1976 album Hotel California in its entirety, plus a greatest hits set. Tickets go on sale April 12 for the September 27 & 28 concerts.
The ailment that forced the Rolling Stones to cancel their scheduled May 2 concert at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and postpone other 2019 tour dates was revealed Monday (4/1). Mick Jagger will undergo heart surgery to repair a faulty valve. Jagger, famous for keeping himself fit, is expected to rebound from the procedure in time for the band to hit the road later in the year.
