This isn’t Jessye DeSilva’s first Rainbow Rodeo! The non-binary singer-songwriter was the very first guest on this podcast, and we’re thrilled to have them back.
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!
Join us every Saturday morning and Sunday night for “Roots and Rhythms,” a compelling and culturally enriching show that explores the vibrant multicultural tapestry of people of color in country music.
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.
