Brenham’s joining of the Texas Music Friendly program will be discussed at a local music industry town hall meeting, set for 5:30 p.m. in the Hasskarl Auditorium at The Barnhill Center. The meeting will be hosted by the Visit Brenham/Washington County Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) and the newly formed Texas Music Friendly Committee.
By joining the program, Brenham will be included in a list of other Texas Music Friendly cities like Austin, Bastrop, Conroe, Fort Worth, Lubbock, San Antonio, Stephenville, and Waco. Back in November, the Brenham City Council approved a memorandum of understanding with the Texas Music Office, which oversees the program.
Visit Brenham/Washington County is the liaison between the city and the Texas Music Office. Tourism and Visitor Experience Manager Jennifer Phillips will be responsible for required reporting and working with the Texas Music Friendly Committee, which will consist of her, Brad Stufflebeam, Rob Moorman, Cameron Crawford, Mark Rosenbaum, Vicky Wehmeyer and Elaine Dillard.
Phillips said the DMO has been working with James Pharaon to develop a certification award video that will be presented at the town hall. The video includes recorded messages from local venue owners and artists, and will be posted on Facebook and on http://visitbrenhamtexas.com after the meeting.
