Tony Joe White @ The Hummingbird

In 1969, Tony Joe White brought his brand of Swampy Blues into a Top 10 hit with his song "Polk Salad Annie." This was followed very shortly in 1970, by Brook Benton’s soulful rendition of White's timeless "Rainy Night In Georgia." Throughout the 1970s and 1980s White toured in support of artists including Creedence Clearwater Revival and James Taylor. In the 1990s Tina Turner recorded four of his songs for her multi-platinum selling album Foreign Affairs, including the world-wide hit "Steamy Windows”. Tony Joes only showing in Macon over the past few decades was at
Bragg Jam a few years ago. Take it from me, you don’t want to miss this one.
