Fraser Armstrong
Saturday, March 22
Fraser Armstrong is a storyteller at heart—both in music and in life. As the pastor of Field Church in Springfield, he is deeply passionate about authenticity and transparency, themes that shape every song he writes. His upcoming concert, "Is This Artificial?", is a creative exploration of these themes, blending raw honesty with a touch of humor. In a unique twist, Fraser is allowing AI to generate “characters” representing different parts of himself in his songs—highlighting both the absurdity and the beauty of self-reflection.
Fraser’s artistry has been shaped by years of performance, including prominent roles at Sight & Sound Theatres. His songwriting has also gained recognition, earning him 2nd place in the 2024 HOOKED! Songwriting Contest. Whether leading from the stage or behind a guitar, Fraser’s music invites listeners into a space of honesty, faith, and wonder.

About
When Tom and Andrea Brett opened a beautiful new medical office in the heart of Branson, they noticed a special conference room that wasn't living up to its potential. As musicians and songwriters, and hosts to many "jam jams" in the basement of their own home, they began to envision this space as a venue for aspiring artists who might be intimidated by large stages, but need a place to hone their craft. They also realized that there are many professional musicians who would love a small, intimate place to share their music - where they could be more personal with their audience. Inspired by the rustic decor of their beautiful clinic in the Ozarks, and the concept of a nest being a place to be nurtured in, fly away from, and return to, the name "The Nest," was born.
