Regarding Nashville South. Excerpt
this page online
Nashville South’s original location was at 2020 Riverside Drive, where in the late 1970s and early 80s, country music superstar Razzy Bailey and his band The Aquarians served as the house band. Larry G. Hudson was also a regular performer at this location. After a fire, Nashville South moved to this location. Here, unknown Macon native Jason Aldean got his country music start by singing in the house band at age 15.
