Mission Statement:
Acts 1:8 To bless God, and the Body of Christ

To Share through word based songs, the good news this is Jesus Christ.

Acclaimed blues artist Nashville Fats (a.k.a Peter Thorpe) knows the blues inside and out. His one-of-a-kind deep raw-textured vocals, crying harp and sliding, whining guitar riffs echo more than 30 years of painful struggles -- ranging from battles with drug addiction to a life-threatening stroke.

Yet, unlike other noted blues acts, the performer's heartfelt lyrics aren't filled with hopelessness, despair and doubts, nor the rough and tumble. That's because the greatest blues hero of all time -- Jesus Christ -- has dramatically changed his life. Now Nashville Fats is committed to entertaining and "soulfully" spreading a hopeful message through original blues music to music lovers across Nashville, the South and beyond.

"Jesus was the ultimate blues man", the artist says with his characteristic husky, street wise-friendly voice. "He came to Earth, suffered tremendously and died so that we might live. There's no greater love than that. I know what his love is all about, because he healed me. Thanks to him, I'm able to do what I love once again--play my original music and classic blues tunes in popular venues".
