The Nashville Fringe Festival exists to celebrate the diversity of Nashville artists & to honor the legends among us who enrich our city and inspire our lives. This month we’re sharing news & offerings from several friends from around town.

Fringe Radio Show

Every Monday Night on Radio Free Nashville, WRFN-LP Pasquo 103.7 & 107.1 FM

The Fringe Radio Show with E.T. and AL-D

Each and every Monday night the Fringe Radio Show takes the airwaves on Radio Free Nashville to host and promote a wide variety of music. Check out our archives, which include programs dating back to 2013, or take a look back with us at some of the great Nashville talent that has appeared on the show during the month of June in years gone by: Weston (2019), BEZ (2017), D’Llisha Davis (2017), Amerigo Gazaway (2016), and local selections curated by villin (2022).

This month we’re switching it up a bit to look back at how the Fringe began. The Nashville Fringe Festival kicked off in June of 2010 with its first events held across the city at Simon Ripley’s Music & Art, W.O. Smith Music School and The Basement. Photos from those first shows are available here, along with a video of Bullfrog Revue live at The Basement.
