The Westhaven Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity, presents the 12th annual Porchfest music festival in the Westhaven master-planned community in Franklin, Tennesee this weekend on Saturday, September 30. Country music group The Frontmen will be the headline performer.
The Frontmen features the dynamic voices of 90s country legends Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas), and Larry Stewart (of Restless Heart). McDonald, Rushlow, and Stewart have collectively sold more than 30 million records and produced more than 30 major hits. Powerhouse hits performed by The Frontmen include Restless Heart classics, “The Bluest Eyes in Texas,” “That Rock Won’t Roll,” “I’ll Still Be Loving You” and “Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right); Lonestar smashes such as “Amazed,” “Smile,” and “I’m Already There;” and Little Texas hits including “God Blessed Texas,” “Amy’s Back in Austin,” and “What Might Have Been.”
Porchfest is an annual community music festival that invites Westhaven residents and the local community to enjoy live music performed by various musical artists and groups on the front porches of homes and various parks throughout Westhaven, ending with the headliner performance near the lake at Magli Green Park in Westhaven’s Village Center. Proceeds from ticket sales to the evening concert benefit The Westhaven Foundation.
