Brown County, in south-central Indiana, has long been a haven for artists of all kinds. The scenery is what first lured creatives to the area more than a century ago. Today, it is a thriving year-round destination known for the arts and outdoor adventure. For the latest episode of Roots Rambler Podcast, I chatted with Aubrey Sitzman, Public Relations Coordinator at the Brown County, Indiana, Convention and Visitors Bureau. Of course, Aubrey and I talked a bit about music and its significance in Brown County, among other things.
