Jill Scott at the Macon City Auditorium

Jill Scott joins artists such as Alanis Morrissette in embarking on an anniversary tour of a beloved album. Scott brings her “Jill Scott: Who is Jill Scott Words & Sounds Vol. 1 23rd Anniversary Tour” to the Macon Auditorium with fresh energy to the songs of her debut album. The Covid pandemic pushed the tour from its originally planned 20th anniversary to its 23rd, but fans shouldn’t mind much because Scott will be true to the album set list. Tickets are selling out quickly and what’s left is pricey but it’s sure to be worth it for true Jill Scott fans. 

7:30 p.m. $160 and up tickets available at Ticketmaster; 415 First Street, 31201; (478) 803-1593; maconcenterplex.com

Drivin’ N Cryin’ at the Hargray Capitol Theatre

If you came of age in the South after the late 1980s, it’s a solid bet that you owned Drivin’ N’ Cryin’’s foundational Southern Rock album “Mystery Road.” The band, which formed in 1985, is still touring and going strong with founding members Kevn Kinney and Tim Nielsen and a few new faces playing songs from their 38-year-old musical career at the Capitol.
