Review

Jessye DeSilva lays all the cards on the table on Renovations. The nonbinary singer-songwriter’s sophomore effort swirls with passion, a panoramic album that details DeSilva’s anger and exhaustion with constantly pushing against constraints – those imposed by society and by themself. If country music is for heartbreak, DeSilva is as country as they come.

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.
