Bradley University’s music business program is the nation’s oldest, dating to 1948. Carl Anderson, a 1986 graduate of Bradley University, is the instructor in residence who directs the Music Business and Music and Entertainment Industry programs at Bradley.
Located in Nashville, Indiana, the Brown County Music Center will be a visual and auditory masterpiece with cutting edge design that will bring in nationally known performers and host local events. The new venue will offer an incredibly intimate experience for each show. The farthest seat from the stage will only be 106 feet away.
Dana Beth Evans, the Director of Events for the new venue said, “This is an incredibly exciting time for Brown County and you can feel the anticipation growing as we get closer and closer to opening day. We’ve all put an incredible amount of time and effort into this place to make sure that it is nothing short of amazing for all who attend, including the artists.
