Macon Music

Macon natives have had a great effect on the music of the United States. The kazoo was invented there in the 1840s and the city was home or birthplace to such singers and musicians as the Allman Brothers, James Brown, Lucille Hegamin, Lena Horne, Otis Redding, Little Richard, and violinist Robert McDuffie. It is the site of the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. The major orchestra of the city is the Macon Symphony Orchestra, which plays at the historic Grand Opera House in downtown Macon.
