Frist Fridays Concert Series Planned May – July

NASHVILLE, TN — Frist Fridays, the Frist Center’s popular summer concert series, kicks off May 28th, 2010, with musical guests The Dirt Drifters performing live in the Turner Courtyard. Now in its eighth year, the series takes place May through July from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm on the final Friday of each month. Patrons are invited to enjoy an evening of live music, light snacks and beverages as well as visit the diverse exhibitions on view in the Frist Center’s galleries. Frist Fridays takes place rain or shine.

Visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs to the events.

“We are pleased that Frist Fridays is one of Nashville’s most popular summer traditions, attracting visitors of all ages from Middle Tennessee and beyond,” said Frist Center Executive Director Dr. Susan H. Edwards. “Over the years, so many people have told us that Frist Fridays introduced them to our institution and to our galleries, and it is tremendously important for us to continue this series on the last Fridays of May, June and July. We love being a location where art and music converge in such spectacular fashion,” she concluded.
