On Wednesday, April 28th, Nashville R&B artist Bren Joy performed at Middle Tennessee State University’s annual Spring Concert, alongside emcee and comedian Dusty Slay and Atlanta R&B artist Jevonté.

Bren Joy is a Nashville native with a unique sound blending R&B, soul, jazz and pop, and the voice of an angel. 

MTSU’s Spring Concert is an annual tradition that has consistently attracted big names, with recent artists including indie rock band Young the Giant and rapper Lil Yachty. This year it was held in the Student Union Ballroom, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. and the show beginning at 7 p.m. 

The event strictly adhered to social distancing guidelines with mask requirements, limited seating and all existing seats placed six feet apart. The crowd may have been seated, but that didn’t stop it from moving.
