Get ready, Macon, because Grammy Award-winning artist Anthony Hamilton is hitting your streets for a new music video. And guess what? You might just get your 15 seconds of fame if you play your cards right. Together with local artist, Stacii Adams, Hamilton is set to film at the Tubman African American Museum for Adams' upbeat track "Happy Days" from his soon-to-drop album "Love You Like The 90s." But before you dust off your dancing shoes, let's get down to the brass tacks—they want you in the mix, the public that is, as announced Monday, as reported by the GPB News.
Macon's own star on the rise, Adams has eyed the prize to show the world what Middle Georgia's got. Teaming up with Teeger Entertainment, this shindig will stretch from 5 to 10 p.m. tonight, but there's a catch. The online tickets to join in the video shoot are as gone as last winter's snowflakes, no longer in the land of the living, per se—revealed the former Macon-Bibb County commissioner and current Teeger Entertainment VP, Al Tillman. If you're one of the many who missed the online magic carpet, you can still traipse on down—with the behind-the-scenes action potentially including you in the exciting cut-aways on Cotton Avenue.
According to GPB News, Stacii Adams is stirring the pot of genres, creating a savory blend of Afrobeats, Southern soul, and R&B. "We're in a society where, a lot of times, people don't know how to be happy, but with this record, we want to be able to induce happiness in people, whatever their race, color or creed is," Adams was quoted saying. Macon, brace yourselves for what's touted as an emission of ecstatic energy through this tune.
But let's get serious for a moment: what's a dance scene without some legit moves? Enter Shuanta Porter of And 5678 Line Dance, who's choreographed an infectious routine that'll have even the shyest of shoe-gazers tapping their toes. And to grease the wheels, AJ the DJ will sling the tracks live, resonating through the museum halls. If you've got the time this evening, pop down to the museum—decked out in your semi-formal best (but don't you forget those comfy sneakers)—and join a moment in Macon's music history that's already been punctuated by the likes of Little Richard, the Allman Brothers, and Otis Redding. "Middle Georgia has something to say, and we want to bring something to the table that’s going to actually help stamp what has already been stamped by Little Richard, the Allman Brothers and Otis Redding," Adams told GPB News, making sure his ambition was crystal clear.
The civic pride is palpable, with a link arm in arm by Middle Georgia's leaders. Macon-Bibb Mayor Lester Miller, Warner Robins Mayor LaRhonda Patrick, and Milledgeville Mayor Mary Parham Copelan will also grace the set, as highlighted by Teeger Entertainment. If that's not a testament to community support, I don't know what is. But here's the deal—registration was hotter than July, filling up faster than a kiddie pool in a heatwave, but Tillman assured The Telegraph that they'll try to squeeze everyone in nonetheless. So tonight, there's only one place to be: on set in Macon, making music video magic.
