A lot of us queer country music artists are independent musicians, or signed to independent labels. Here are 5 ways you can support queer country music artists:

​

1. Stream Their Music
   Actually listening to queer country music artists is the easiest way to show support! Check out the Proud to be Country playlist on Spotify for starters and discover the wonderful LGBTQ+ voices in our genre. And if you hear something you like, click through to that artist’s streamer page, give them a follow and listen to their other releases.
    

2. Share Their Music with Others
   Word of mouth is so powerful! Share your favourite queer country tracks on social media, create queer country playlists, or recommend artists to your friends. Spreading the word helps expand the audience for queer country musicians.
    

3. Attend Their Concerts
   Support gay country artists by attending their live shows! Whether it’s a local gig or even a support slot for another artist, buying tickets and showing up helps fuel their careers and creates a sense of community.
    

4. Follow and Engage on Social Media
   Social media is a great way to stay connected with queer country artists. Follow them, like their posts, share their updates, and engage with their content. This helps boost their profile and shows the world that there’s demand for diverse voices in country music.
    

5. Advocate for LGBTQ+ Representation
   Speak out on the importance of LGBTQ+ inclusion in country music. You can advocate for queer artists to be featured in playlists, radio stations, and festivals – sometimes all it takes is to suggest an artist’s name in the comments section. Your voice matters in pushing for more diverse and inclusive country music spaces.
    

By taking these steps, you're not only enjoying great music but also contributing to a growing movement of inclusivity in country music.

We’re here, we’re queer and we’re country!
