After five years of trailblazing queer country music, New York City’s Gay Ole Opry is hitting the road for the first time. Opry regulars The Paisley Fields and Karen & the Sorrows are heading South for a week-long tour, and can’t wait to come to Charlottesville to play with Debra Guy at a special fundraiser for Cville Pride. The show starts at 9:00 pm on Saturday, April 30th at Firefly at 1304 East Market St.With Debra Guy’s honest, gritty, music, The Paisley Fields’ harmony-driven, piano-based alt-country, and Karen & the Sorrows “haunting pedal steel work and unvarnished heartbreak” (Bust Magazine), the show will be a first-of-its-kind good time. Why queer country? Because we love country music even when it doesn’t love us back. Because everybody needs a honky tonk angel to hold them tight. Because we believe in country music for all cowpeople.
