BROWN COUNTY — This summer, visitors and residents alike will have the opportunity to watch national acts in their own backyard when the Brown County Music Center opens.

But before grand-opening act Vince Gill takes the stage on Aug. 24, there will be two opportunities for people to watch live music in the 2,000-seat venue for free.

The first soft opening at the music center will be Saturday, Aug. 17 with local bands the Acre Brothers and the Grasshounds performing.

The second soft opening featuring the Bloomington band 1-4-5’s, Brown County-based J.C. Clements Band and Indiana blues musicians the Governor Davis Band will happen Wednesday, Aug. 21.

Both shows will run from 7 to 10 p.m.
