Capricorn Sound Studio at 536 Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard is the building where Southern rock was recorded, mixed, and sent out to the world in the 1970s. The Allman Brothers Band recorded here. So did dozens of other artists who defined the genre. The studio reopened after a restoration and now operates as both a working recording space and a cultural site open to visitors.
Tours are available and take in the original recording rooms, the control booth, and the story of Capricorn Records and its impact on American music. The historical marker outside documents the studio's significance. Macon's music tourism circuit — the Big House, Rose Hill Cemetery, and Capricorn are its three main points — can be covered in a full day, and the city has made efforts to connect the sites with walking and driving routes.
