Review

It’s been a few months since we last covered an Autumn Nicholas single, and “Listening” continues their trend of starting out extraordinary and somehow getting better with every new offering. Both of today’s entries are just flat-out gorgeous: The lush backing by SistaStrings on this is the perfect compliment to the warmth of Nicholas’ vocal timbre, as their voice glides above the gentle piano and string arrangement.

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.
