Review

Country singer Ty Herndon was flying on top of the world — until he suddenly crashed. The top-charting artist had been forced into a sham marriage by his record label, and the pressures of the spotlight and hiding his sexuality led Herndon to a spiral of addiction. After being arrested for indecent exposure while on a three-day bender, Herndon found himself choosing between life and death. Last year’s album <em>Jacob</em> marked Herndon’s triumphant return to mainstream country and with the recent release of the deluxe version of the album, Herndon reminds us our stories don’t always end with a neat little bow.

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.
