Interview
A unique childhood split between the glitz and glamor of Los Angeles’ entertainment industry with summers spent in Star Valley, Wyoming, has given Tanner Adell a unique approach to country music.
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.
Join us every Saturday morning and Sunday night for “Roots and Rhythms,” a compelling and culturally enriching show that explores the vibrant multicultural tapestry of people of color in country music.
The brainchild of songwriter Benn Park, Shoes Off Nashville is a multi-faceted project created to celebrate and empower the Asian Pacific Islander community in Nashville, Tennessee. Live music showcases are held and interview articles are published every month.
