I photographed the Andrew J Brady Music Center several times in Cincinnati Ohio. This incredible indoor and outdoor live music venue sits between Paycor Stadium and Great American Ball Park as part of The Banks. The indoor concert venue which has outstanding acoustics, holds 4000 people. The ICON Festival Stage outside facing east holds 7000 people standing only. I love photographing the Andrew J Brady Music Center exterior.
Politicians argued for a decade about the fate of the area between the Cincinnati stadiums. Finally, The Banks project took hold, and now there are restaurants and shops. and this awesome Cincinnati music center where once stood dirt and a parking lot. The Andrew J Brady Music Center – there isn’t a bad seat in the house!
MEMI manages this newest Cincinnati live music venue. They also manage Rose Music Center, Riverbend Music Center, PNC Music Center, and more. This is an amazing performance center and a great place to be a concert photographer.
These photos are from the various times I have been near this cool building. When it first opened it was the Icon Music Center. Then, the name changed to its current form. Regardless, it is one hell of a good place to see any show in Cincinnati. I enjoy being a Dayton commercial photographer.
The Andrew J Brady Music Center, managed by Music & Event Management, Inc. (MEMI), is not only an iconic venue in Cincinnati but also one of the top music centers in the area. Located in downtown Cincinnati at The Banks, the music center’s stunning angular exterior and state-of-the-art facilities make it the go-to destination for performers and music lovers.
The unique architectural design captivates me each time I see it. The building boasts a grand entrance, including a large, marquee, and a modern glass facade, which gives it a distinctly chic look.
But the breathtaking appearance of the music center is just the beginning. Once inside the venue, visitors are greeted with a spacious lobby where musicians and patrons can gather before and after a show. The space is equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems, allowing musicians to put on unforgettable shows, and patrons to enjoy performances of unparalleled quality. It is the best-sounding venue I have ever been to.
Throughout the first few years, Andrew J Brady Music Center has played host to big-name artists like The Avett Brothers, Lindsey Stirling, Fleet Foxes, and Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit have performed at the venue, drawing crowds from across the region.
Overall, the Andrew J Brady Music Center is a true gem in the heart of downtown Cincinnati. And with MEMI at the helm, it’s sure to maintain its place as a world-class venue for years to come.
