On the evening of September 26 at Nashville’s City Winery, CMT’s “Equal Access” program brought together some of Nashville’s most exciting voices in a showcase presented by mTheory & Change The Conversation. Despite the showcase following closely after a jam packed week of shows that took over the city for Americana Fest, the room was filled with patrons eager to hear the voices of Camille Parker, Sam Williams, Angie K, Nick Tabron, Adam Mac, Valerie Ponzio, Dalton Dover, Denitia, and Fancy Hagood.

Gay Ole Opry Playlist

Karen & the Sorrows have been building queer country community in Brooklyn by running the Queer Country Quarterly and the Gay Ole Opry (gayoleopry.com) since 2011. Most of these bands have come to play for us, but some we're still wishing on!

Gay Ole Opry

Why queer country music? Because sometimes you love a culture that doesn’t love you back. And when everyone came to the first Gay Ole Opry in April of 2011 in all their country finery, we knew we weren’t alone. We do it because we love the music and want to build a community to support queer country musicians.
