Brandon Music Recital Hall

Saturday daytime will take place at Compass. Saturday night we’ll move to Brandon Music, a beautiful recital hall inside of a renovated bank barn, This is a venue like no other. The hospitality, acoustics and intimate setting makes musicians and patrons swoon. Brandon Music has hosted a long list of well known musicians playing in multiple genres.

We’ll have PA systems, drum sets and pianos in both venues. Guitarists, bassists and keyboardists should bring their instruments and amplifiers to achieve their particular sound. Drummers may want to bring their cymbals, snare drums and stick bags.
