Review

Jared Deck’s third album, Head Above Water, transforms the rich vocals and sharp social commentary of his sophomore album into a battle cry befitting a wily but beleaguered leader. This reflects his own journey from a factory worker displaced by globalization to a community organizer to an Oklahoma State Representative.

Gay Ole Opry Playlist

Karen & the Sorrows have been building queer country community in Brooklyn by running the Queer Country Quarterly and the Gay Ole Opry (gayoleopry.com) since 2011. Most of these bands have come to play for us, but some we're still wishing on!

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.
