Launched in February 2024, Queer/BIPOC Honky Tonk is a groundbreaking daily web series dedicated to shining a spotlight on Queer, BIPOC, Disabled, and Religious Minority artists within the Country, Bluegrass, and Americana music scenes. Hosted by Lu’kas Porter, the series introduces fans to diverse and talented musicians who might otherwise go unnoticed in mainstream country music. The web series is a celebration of intersectional identities and a call to broaden the lens through which country music is viewed.
