Olympia’s TransTrad Fest Opens Possibilities For All

"We have always been here" is a phrase we're going to hear a lot for the next four years, and TransTrad Fest organizers Alex Sturbaum and Hayden Stern want to make it apply to traditional music. The pair are organizing a trad festival of trans musicians in Olympia, Washingtong with the hopes of drawing more trans folks to the art they love – and for the more tradition-minded cis folks in the scene to see the possibilities of opening the tent even bigger. The festival will be held on June 6 - 8, so while it's a ways off, we wanted to feature the work they're doing.
