Review

Joy Oladokun feels as if she’s fully embraced herself on Observations From a Crowded Room. It’s not that her previous work hasn’t been vulnerable, or that she hasn’t been thoughtful and frank in her interviews, but Observations embraces a refreshing honesty — one that is blunt and painful, but also liberating and emancipating.

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.
