The Don Gibson Theatre is proud to announce these upcoming shows.


Mac Arnold - March 13, 2015.
Mac Arnold must have known at an early age that his music career would read like a "Who's who" of Blues/R&B Legends. His high school band "J Floyd & The Shamrocks" were often joined by none other than Macon, Georgia native, James Brown on piano. After deciding to pursue a professional music career, he joined the Charles Miller group until 1965 when he made the move to Chicago to work with recording artist/saxophonist A. C. Reed. In late 1966, at age 24, came the opportunity of a lifetime to join the Muddy Waters Band and help shape the electric blues sound that inspired the rock and roll movement of the late 60's and early 70's. Regular guests of the band included Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, and Elvin Bishop. The Muddy Waters Band (as a unit) shared the stage with the likes of Howlin' Wolfe, Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Junior Wells, Big Joe Williams, and Big Mama Thornton just to name a few. During this time, Mac played on John Lee Hooker's "live "album, Live at the Café Au Go-Go, as well as Otis Spann's classic recording "The Blues is Where It's At".
