Chris's new album Blueneck is a raucously fun and aggressively queer pop country album. Chris has been in Nashville for 16 years, and we talk about how it's been to be a queer artist in the mainstream country machine, as well as how Chris got his start and why he loves making the catchy music he does.

We do it because we love the music and want to build a community to support queer country musicians.
