Guys who play music together often become closer than brothers, and needless to say, they’d do anything to make life better for one of their brethren. Country music fans got to see that special bond in action during a recent BoomTown Saints concert in Nashville when Chris Ramos presented fellow frontman Ben Chism with a special pair of EnChroma glasses for people who are color-blind that enabled him to see vibrant hues for the first time ever.

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.
