Music producer seriously injured in downtown attack

Turning to DeLoach, the driver then hit her and choked her by kneeing her in the throat.

According to a report in the Tennessean, Brainard and two women were walking in a crosswalk on Demonbreun Street, near a lively strip of bars, clubs and condos, early Sunday morning when a four-door gray or charcoal Infinity struck one of Brainard’s friends. The man and the woman in the auto reportedly stepped out and began yelling at the pedestrians before attacking Brainard and DeLoach. Neither attacker has been apprehended.

One of the most highly regarded young producers in Nashville, Tenn., Dave Brainard, has been hospitalized after a gruesome attack.

Police said the couple in the infinity were well-dressed as if they had attended a formal event.

“We couldn’t get out of the street because they kept hitting us”, DeLoach told The Tennessean, referring to the couple in the vehicle.

Nashville producer Dave Brainard was left unconscious with a broken jaw, severe lacerations to his face and several missing teeth following an assault early Sunday.

Brainard is now in need of reconstructive surgery.

The female suspect is around 5 feet 6 inches tall and was wearing a dress at the time of the incident. Police request that anyone with information about the attack call 615-742-7463.

Brainard has produced country artists including Brandy Clark, Jamey Johnson and Jerrod Niemann. “We’d take trips to Nashville, and I started to see the complexity in things that were so simple, and what you could do with three chords”. The 40-year-old earned a Grammy nod for his work on Clark’s 2013 record, 12 Stories.
