I first started listening to Adeem the Artist (they/them/theirs) back in April of 2023 when I heard their NPR interview on the radio. I was smitten with their music and stories. Before that, I was never really into Country. It’s not what I grew up with since I originally hail from NYC. But here I am, an Alabamian for the past couple of years and change.  Living in God’s Country and listening to Country music just feels right. Somehow the landscape just lends itself to it.

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.
