Rodney Carrington will perform at Brown County Music Center.

From country to soul to classic pop and rock, the remainder of the month as summer prepares to kick off is a tuneful salad at Brown County Music Center in Nashville.

Here is an overview of the upcoming lineup:

  • 8 p.m. June 9: Rodney Carrington: A platinum-recording artist, Carrington has recorded eight major record label comedy albums, followed by three albums on his own record label, Laughter’s Good Records. He is fresh off the release of his latest album, “Get Em Out,” which was released in 2019 and hit No. 1 on iTunes.
  • 7:30 p.m. June 11: KC and the Sunshine Band: Harry Wayne Casey still fronts a festive, 15-person entourage, including dancers, that tells audiences “we are the party.” The hits include “Shake Your Booty,” “That’s the Way (I Like It),” “Boogie Shoes” and more.
  • 7:30 p.m. June 19: Jackson Browne: Performing songs spanning his entire career, Browne has defined a genre of songwriting that critics have described as “charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics.” He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007.
  • 7:30 p.m. June 20: Lyle Lovett and his Large Band: The evening will feature an arrangement of Lovett standards, as well as songs from his critically acclaimed album “12th of June” released last year on Verve Records.
