Tony Brown Receives 'Honorary Visiting Professor' Award at Middle Tennessee 
State University
Lecture Series Renamed To Honor The Late Brian Williams




(Nashville, Tennessee) Music industry executive and acclaimed producer Tony 
Brown was awarded the title of Honorary Visiting Professor at the completion 
of a lecture to students in MTSU's Department of Recording Industry on 
Tuesday April 3rd, 2007. The award was presented by Dr. Kaylene Gebert, the 
University Provost. The lecture was part of the newly renamed Brian Williams 
Entertainment Studies Lecture Series, presented by SunTrust Bank, and hosted 
by Beverly Keel.


MTSU Professor Bob Wood stated, "Tony Brown has generously given his time 
over the years supporting the education of our recording industry students. 
We are grateful for his continuing commitment to our program and we are 
proud to honor him with this award."


Earlier in the evening, the announcement was made that the SunTrust Lecture 
Series at MTSU has been renamed Brian Williams Entertainment Studies 
Lectures Series. Brian Williams was a highly respected Music Row banker, who 
brought together a traditional way of doing business with the unconventional 
ways of the music industry to create a niche for Nashville's banking 
industry. Brian was credited for pioneering the practice of lending money 
against future royalty income, treating songs as collateral.


Director of the college Development office, Steven Barnes added, "SunTrust 
has become one of our most valued strategic partners, and we're honored to 
be able to join them in naming this important lecture series after the late 
banker to the stars, Brian Williams."

About - Tony Brown
Tony Brown, a native of North Carolina, was the son of an evangelist and 
played piano in his family's gospel group as a teenager. That experience 
helped him land a touring job with the Oak Ridge Boys and ultimately put him 
on the piano bench for Elvis Presley's final U.S. tour. He then joined 
Emmylou Harris's famous "Hot Band" and played piano for bandmate Rodney 
Crowell's Cherry Bombs when Crowell went solo. Brown soon wound up in 
Nashville working in A&R for RCA Records and was asked to produce gospel 
singer Shirley Caesar in 1983. That work got him noticed by then MCA chief 
Jimmy Bowen, whose mentorship guided Brown to the president's office at MCA 
Nashville in 1993. During his tenure at MCA Nashville, Brown worked with 
platinum artists Vince Gill, Reba McEntire, George Strait, Trisha Yearwood 
and Wynonna as well as championing critical favorites like Steve Earle, 
Patty Loveless, Lyle Lovett, Nanci Griffith and The Mavericks.


In 2002, Brown joined former Arista Nashville President Tim DuBois to found 
Universal South Records, aiming to create what they said would be "a home 
for truly inventive, highly creative artists." The pair stepped down from 
the label last December, with Brown saying he wanted to devote himself once 
again to fill-time music production.


Brown's 2007 ACM nominations, announced earlier this month, include Album of 
the Year for Brooks & Dunn's "HIllbilly Deluxe" and for George Strait's "It 
Just Comes Natural," Single of the Year for Strait's "Give It Away" and 
Vocal Event of the Year for "Building Brides" with Brooks & Dunn, Vince 
Gill, and Sheryl Crow. Brown also is the reigning Country Music Association 
producer for "Believe," the 2006 Single of the Year by Brooks & Dunn.
