Interview

YAINT sometimes go by the name of eryn brothers, hailing from the same Arkansas whirl of queer country that gives us jude brothers (their sibling), Creekbed Carter Hogan, and Willi Carlile. They’re one of the funniest people I know, and their long-awaited EP The Softer Side Of Me drops tomorrow. This is an album of all the lives brothers has lived — and the ones they haven’t. Ahead of the album release, brothers explains the Merle Haggard reference in their EP title, the beauty of queer country, and why they go by YAINT.

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.
