Interview

Hailing from South Texas, Joel Brogon brings a fresh voice to Americana. His musical journey is deeply influenced by a rich tapestry of genres, drawing inspiration from classic singer-songwriters, folk sounds of the ’70s, and traditional ’90s country music. At the heart of Brogon’s artistry lies a profound commitment to narrative storytelling, weaving tales inspired by his own life experiences and those of the community around him. Through his songs, he sheds light on a wide range of topics, from the beauty of nature to social justice issues like LGBTQ+ rights and environmental stewardship.

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.
