Drake Jensen has been one of the bear community’s favorite musicians since his debut album On My Way to Finding You in 2011. Since then, he has released four additional albums with his newest effort entitled Iconic coming your way in the fall of this year. In advance of the highly anticipated record, he has released the single and video for “Lovers In a Dangerous Time”. The Bruce Cockburn cover resonates now, more than ever before, as political tensions rise in relation to the LGBTQ community, especially throughout North America.

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.
