A fan sign in the crowd led to an unexpected duet at Zach Top’s concert in Duluth, Georgia. During a stop at Gas South Arena on his Cold Beer & Country Music Tour, Top spotted 15-year-old Brayden Frasure in the pit and invited him onstage.
Top asked Frasure what he wanted to sing. The teenager chose “Tennessee Whiskey,” a song with well-known recordings by George Jones, David Allan Coe and Chris Stapleton. The choice set up a challenging moment for a young fan sharing the stage with a touring country artist.
A plan for the duet
Before they began, Top and Frasure worked out how to divide the song: Top would sing the first verse, with Frasure taking the next. Top also acknowledged the song’s history, joking about the possibility of falling short of the earlier versions before the pair started.
The arrangement gave Frasure a clear moment in the spotlight, rather than limiting the invitation to a brief appearance. When his verse arrived, he took the microphone and sang alongside Top. The performance was described as a standout part of the concert, turning a spontaneous invitation into a full duet.
The moment’s appeal lay in the contrast between its simple beginning and the song they chose. Top noticed one young fan in the crowd, and Frasure quickly named a familiar country favorite rather than waiting to settle on a selection. Their split-verse plan then gave both performers a turn with the song.

A song with a long history
“Tennessee Whiskey” has been recorded by several artists, and Chris Stapleton’s 2015 rendition brought the song renewed attention. Top referenced the versions by Jones, Coe and Stapleton as he introduced the performance, treating the song’s legacy with humor while making clear that he and Frasure were about to take it on in their own way.
For Frasure, the invitation meant stepping from the audience into a performance with a country singer in front of a concert crowd. For Top, it was a chance to share the stage and the song with a fan. The Duluth duet put that exchange at the center of the evening, with Frasure taking the verse the pair had agreed would be his.
