New Concert Venue to Open this Fall in Madison

With a 700-seat concert hall and adjacent state-of-the-art recording studio, Harken Hall is set to open its doors this fall at 514 Madison Station Blvd in Madison, TN.

The space is designed to provide facilities and services for performing artists as well as host corporate events, organizational meetings, weddings and an array of community activities.

About the sustainability

Harken Hall is made for everything from creating music to building community to living sustainability. The venue utilized reclaimed wood in the core structure, is working in collaboration with Compost Nashville, and will not carry any plastic water bottles, utensils or straws, instead employing aluminum cans for drinks.

“We want this to be a place where people can make and hear good music, enjoy social gatherings, be treated hospitably and feel comfortable,” says Jamie Amos, Harken Hall president and veteran music video and television producer. “When you have a multipurpose structure like this one, the arts and interest in the arts tend to cross-pollinate. Ideally, Harken Hall will be the seedbed and focal point of a neighborhood in which artists can create and collaborate.”

About the space

The event space is predominantly constructed of wood, while the interior walls are covered with corral board from the same timber package. Re-sawn lumber finishes out the interior structure to give a resonance to the listening environment minimizing reflections through careful absorption of sound waves, similar to that of a recording studio. The building’s exterior is finished out with stonework to mirror some of its neighborhood’s historic churches. The main concert hall also features built-in broadcast and streaming capabilities.

Bookings for concerts, weddings, audio recordings, corporate and private events and more will be open fall of 2024. To learn more about Harken Hall, visit at 514 Madison Station Blvd or harkenhall.com.
