Centennial year fervor will be kicked up a notch this month when the Brown County Community
Foundation hosts the first Brown County Music Festival in downtown Nashville.
More than 40 musicians have signed on to perform on two stages: the Village Gazebo at the corner of
West Main and Jefferson streets, and the Main Stage behind Coachlight Square on South Van Buren
Street.
These performing artists hale from Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Bloomington, Nashville,
Tennessee, and Nashville, Indiana. They'll come together on Saturday, September 22, to usher in Brown
County's autumn season with music ranging from folk and Americana to bluegrass, southern roots and
classic rock.
Performances begin on both stages at 11 a.m., continuing until 6 p.m. at the gazebo and until 10 p.m. on
the Main Stage. Nashville, Tenn., -based children's entertainer, Farmer Jason, will take the stage at noon
with his farm friends songs.
In addition to resident musicians Grover Knight, Rick Clayton, Lou Stant, Mel Chance and Don Ford,
Brown County's youth will be represented on the gazebo stage by emerging artists Anna Crawley, Haley
O'Neil, Jessica Shaffer, Josh and Jesse Burton, Daniel Davis, Chris Nelson, B. Tyler Margison, Zachary
Margison and Gabriel Stant. These students will perform from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon.
Bloomington-based rock band A Moment's Affair will round out the program at the gazebo.
Notable local musicians Slats Klug, Robbie Bowden and the White Lightening Boys will lead the way on
the Main Stage. They'll be joined by Janas Hoyt, the Reel Tyme String Band and three other artists not yet
confirmed.
National touring artists Jason Ringenberg (Farmer Jason returning to his cowpunk rock in sequined shirt
and leopard-skin cowboy hat), the Swinging Steaks and Chevy Downs will headline the evening concert
that begins at 6 p.m.
Adding flavor to the festivities, featured food vendors will offer famous Gnaw Bone tenderloin
sandwiches, pizza and fried chicken. A Beer and Wine Garden will be adjacent to the Main Stage, offering
attendees the opportunity to taste and purchase a variety of Indiana-brewed beers and the fine wines of
five regional wineries.
In addition to the musical festivities, the Friends of Old Settlers of Brown County will welcome the public
to an afternoon of activities at the 4-H Fairgrounds. Vintage automobiles will be on display at the Village
Green and several local artists and artisans will bring their unique offerings to town.
Music, food, cars and crafts - all festival activities - will be staged against the backdrop of downtown
Nashville where restaurants, art galleries and specialty shops abound.
Proceeds from the Brown County Music Festival will benefit the educational outreach programs of the
Career Resource Center. Festival attendees also will be encouraged to donate to the community
services provided by the CRC.
Corporate sponsors committed to supporting the efforts of the Brown County Community Foundation are
Coca Cola, Hills O'Brown Realty, WTIU/WFIU, Upland Brewing Company, WFHB and Adam Young/Edward
