Music Row real estate agent Lura Bainbridge Brothers, who helped Garth Brooks, John Fogerty, Roseanne Cash and others buy homes over the years, died late last week at age 66. Brothers, the wife of Davidson County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Brothers, was born in Greeneville and raised in Cuba and Florida before graduating from the University School of Nashville. She launched her own business in 1985 having started her career at several recording ventures and spent six years at the Dobson & Johnson home brokerage firm.

A memorial service is scheduled for May 9 at 2 p.m. at Belmont Church on Music Square East. Visitation begins at 1 p.m.

In this week's Scene, Adam Gold takes a good look at the complicated and at-times-contentious relationship between Music Row's content creators and the online marketers of Google and its YouTube unit. The sold-out Google for Creators confab earlier this month provided another opportunity to further close what was once a chasm. The long-term goal for its main backer is to get some Google boots on the ground.

"Google proper will never put an office here," says FLO founder Mark Montgomery. "YouTube, however, would."

Montgomery refers in particular to YouTube's new Creators Spaces enterprise. In the video-sharing site's quest to become in essence a boundless cable TV package, it has started funding satellite Creators Spaces in cities like New York, Tokyo and L.A. "And we want the next one here," Montgomery says.

Music-industry-focused public relations firm The Green Room will move from Music Row to The Cannery building in SoBro on April 1.

The five-person company — the client roster for which includes, among others,  Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw — has operated since late 2007 from a space located at 1100 16th Ave. S. Its new address will be 521 Eighth Ave. S., Suite 101.

“I feel like we have outgrown our current space, and I also feel the need to have a more open floor plan and a more creative environment  for my employees and clients,” said Mary Hilliard Harrington, The Green Room owner. “Being able to build out and design my own space in a historical building located in an evolving area of town is a huge plus.”

Harrington said she is working with Pierce & Ward on the buildout. Terms of the lease and moving costs will not be disclosed, she said.
