Chicago is the birthplace of country music as we know it today, so it’s only fitting that it will host the first (to my knowledge) three-day festival of queer country music on September 13 – 15. Organizers Alexis Stein, of Chicago’s The Queer Social Club and Swappin’ Boots queer line dancing party, and singer Andrew Sa, whose music we’ve proudly featured here, brought the lineup together and will present a tribute to queer country pioneer Lavender Country.
