Susie Brown
Founder & President

Nashville in the Rockies was founded in 2025 by Susie, a Utah County native and accomplished Nashville musician. The vision was born from her passion to bring the spirit of Nashville home and share it with the talented emerging artists of Utah.

After performing alongside major acts such as Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Trisha Yearwood, Reba, and Carrie Underwood—and signing a record deal with Warner Music—Susie returned to Utah to discover an incredible pool of untapped local talent. Inspired by what she found, she set out to create opportunities that help that talent grow, connect, and thrive.

"I’ve always loved country music because it captures real emotions we all experience—love, loss, joy, and everything in between. Visiting the Bluebird Café in Nashville was unforgettable, and I’m thrilled that Nashville in the Rockies brings that same magic right here to Utah. With local singer-songwriters performing outdoors in a warm, personal setting, it’s an experience you’ll truly love."
