“Americana has been a refuge for both folk and country musicians who sit outside of the perceived sounds, genres, cultures, genders, and races of what we perceive country and folk music to be,” says Joy Oladokun, a musician in Nashville, Tennessee. "I think we’re the troublemakers.”

"Queer artists have always helped push the boundaries of what it’s OK to say. Sometimes, that means being a woman who sings about her wife. Sometimes it means simply being honest about how complicated it is to try to maintain your humanity in this country."
Amen. And maintain our humanity we must.
