About Nfocus

In its 15th year on the Nashville social scene, Nfocus has a nose for fine things, fun and philanthropy. The community’s leading citizens were its founding shareholders, and Nfocus has an insider’s view of the city’s finest homes and most charming people. Miss the party? Nfocus will tell you exactly what it was like to be there—not just soup to nuts (anybody can read a menu), but what was the buzz and what were they wearing.

Nashville’s must-read magazine for natives and newcomers alike, Nfocus includes features no other publication can duplicate like Match Game (fit the wit with the words), Style File (personalities of local notables), a wine column by millionaire businessman and internationally recognized oenophile Tom Black (see About Us) and indelible party coverage with can’t-miss photography (no grip-and-grin shots here).

Nfocus debuted in November of 1993, a brainchild of founding editor and native Nashvillian, the late Herbert Fox. Herbert became a beloved figure on the social scene—his seventh career, after rehabbing a chateau in southern France (“I figured I could write anywhere”), working in New York’s fashion industry and serving as head writer for the long-running television show “Hee Haw.” His monthly column was often the first page readers turned to.

Nfocus reflects Nashville’s culture, its people and their generosity—both up and comers and long-time blue bloods, their passions and quirks. Nfocus readers are players, the people who make things happen in Nashville.
