What’ s New with the Brown County Music Center?
You can get tickets at the Brown County Visitors Center in downtown Nashville.
The Brown County Music Center is progressing steadily and the day of its first event is rapidly approaching. The concrete floors have been poured, the sound system is fully functioning, and final touches are being installed.
It may come as a surprise to learn that the Vince Gill show scheduled for August 24 will not be the first event to be held at the new Brown County Music Center.
The Music Center will host a ribbon cutting and two soft openings in order to give the public a tour of the venue for free and to give volunteers, employees, and equipment in the new facility a good workout prior to handling the national acts. The concessions will be open, the tickets will be scanned, and the new sound and lighting systems will focus on live entertainment.
The ribbon cutting is August 15 at 4:30 p. m. featuring speeches, concessions, tours of the venue, and a live performance by Not Too Bad Bluegrass.
In addition to the ribbon cutting, there will be two soft openings— one on August 17 and the second on August 21. Both openings will feature entertainment and run like typical concerts. Access to the beer and family gardens will be open to all who wish to sit back and relax.
Information on how to secure your tickets will come soon and be released on the Brown County Music Center’ s Facebook page and website. Stay tuned for announcements about the openings as more information will be release closer to the events.
