Brothers Music Hall was a live music venue located in the old Hollywood Country Club building on Shades Creek Parkway in Homewood from 1977 to 1981.

New Era Productions was one of the owners of the music hall, which brought in national touring acts such as The Police, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, Jr, Pat Benatar, and John Prine.

The music hall had to close in 1981 due to the deteriorating state of the country club building, which dated to 1926. New Era opened the Five Points South Music Hall in 1994, hoping to recapture the feel of Brothers Music Hall. Five Points was able to bring in nationally touring acts as well, but closed in 2003.
