    Now in its sixth year, Frist Fridays has quickly become a Nashville tradition, attracting visitors of all ages from Middle Tennessee and the region. Patrons can enjoy an evening of live music, food and beverages in the Turner Courtyard and visit the diverse exhibitions on view in the Frist Center’s galleries. Live entertainment for August 29 will be Last Train Home, Peter Cooper, and Fayssoux McLean!

    Described as "one of the country’s most formidable roots-rock bands", Last Train Home is also flavored with country, swing, bluegrass, blues, folk, punk, pop and Tin Pan Alley influences. 

    Peter Cooper is a music writer for the Tennessean and he is rapidly gaining attention as a much-praised singer-songwriter from many, including Kris Kristofferson, who describes his songs as "…the work of an original, creative imagination…Deep stuff." Cooper’s debut album Mission Door, co-produced by steel guitar Country Music Hall of Famer Lloyd Green, has received acclaim from Tom T. Hall, The Washington Post, USA Today and Bob Edwards.

    Described as "one of my favorite singers" by Emmylou Harris, Fayssoux McClean showcases her incredible voice with her new album, Early. Fayssoux, who has sung backup harmonies and duets with many well-known musicians including Rodney Crowell, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton and Buddy Miller, now takes center stage to perform a variety of traditional folk songs, gospel, contemporary country-rock and ballads.

    Frist Fridays Sponsors include: Presenting Sponsor: Fifth Third Bank; Contributing Sponsors: Bridgestone, Glaceau Vitamin Water and Southwest Airlines; Media Sponsors: Lightning 100 and Nashville Scene.
