Nashville Leaders Seek To Build On 'Music City' Brand

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Mayor Karl Dean is seeking advice from music industry experts about how to keep Nashville's brand name as "Music City."

The Mayor and the Chamber of Commerce have brought together a 46 member Music Business Council.  The panel will include some big names, including country stars Emmy Lou Harris, Kix Brooks and guitarist Jack White.

The goal of the council is to keep and attract creative people to Nashville.

Members will also advise the mayor on projects including a new downtown amphitheater, expanding the CMA Music Festival, and creating a new, non-country music festival.
