Guitar Scholarship Established in Name of Most Recorded Guitar Player
at Nashville’s Belmont
NASHVILLE, TN — The legacy of the most recorded guitar player in history will continue to create beautiful music out of Nashville. Belmont School of Music is dedicating a scholarship in the name of Country Music Hall of Fame member Harold Bradley to be awarded to outstanding students in the music business program with an emphasis on guitar. The Harold Bradley Endowed Scholarship at Belmont’s internationally recognized Music Business department received its launch and initial funding from an anonymous donor. The announcement ceremony will be held at Belmont’s Gallery of Iconic Guitars on Friday, January 25, 2019. Mr. Bradley and his family will be in attendance.
This will be an intimate gathering to celebrate the Harold Bradley Endowed Scholarship and offer some insight into the significance of such an opportunity for future musicians. Following a brief program honoring Harold Bradley, there will be a student performance in The Gallery of Iconic Guitars (GIG). This display makes for a perfect backdrop with some of the most rare guitars from an 1887 Martin to a 1923 Gibson and beyond.
Harold Bradley, along with his brother Owen, laid the groundwork for Nashville’s Music Industry. They worked as both musician and producer with classic stars too numerous to mention. The Harold Bradley Endowed Scholarship at Belmont University was created to recognize Harold’s legacy, while providing talented students with the financial means to reach their goals in the field of music.
