Frist Fridays has become one of Nashville’s most popular summertime activities, and it’s back for another year! Make plans to join your friends and fellow Frist Center members in the Turner Courtyard for live entertainment, great art and cash bars under the stars. The festivities start at 6:00pm and conclude at 9:00pm. It’s the best way to start the weekend. Rain or shine.

Performing: The Long Players

The Long Players are a group of Nashville-based musicians who have taken classic albums and performed them live in their original sequence since 2004. The Long Players unique tribute to “the album” as a conceptual work of art sets them apart from other tribute bands that focus on look-a-likes and sound-a-likes. Through this approach and their remarkable ability to pull off a variety of musical styles, they have received national notoriety and have been featured in Billboard and on NPR. The band includes Bill Lloyd (Foster & Lloyd), Steve Allen (20/20), Steve Ebe (Human Radio), Brad Jones (record producer) and Jen Gunderman (Jayhawks). Dipping into Nashville’s exceptional musical community, The Long Players always offer a stellar roster of guest artists to help them bring these classic albums to life.

As homage to Andy Warhol’s love of, if not near obsession for, Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones, The Long Players will perform a faithful rendition of The Stones’ album Sticky Fingers. Renowned saxophone player Bobby Keys, whose sax work is heard on The Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’” will be sitting in on The Long Players’ Frist Friday performance. Warhol designed the Sticky Fingers album package which will be on display in the Warhol Live exhibition.
