Why have one thing when you can have both? Heather Mae asks that question with her upcoming dual-album project. Mae is a fierce social justice singer-songwriter whose powerful voice draws parallels to Adele and Sara Bareilles. Mae doesn’t take guff from anyone — her latest project is a double album of Americana and rock songs — all created with the help of a collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville, including luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies, along with guest artists like Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings.

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.
