Adeem the Artist and I picked some of our favorite new queer country songs to feature for Pride! Shortly after this interview, it was announced that Adeem will be opening for American Aquarium in the fall. I’m so stoked for them! 

Turns out that between the two of us, Adeem and I reviewed half the albums featured here, so check those out in the show notes.

Also, Country Queer is raising funds so their writers (like me and Adeem) can get paid! Sign up for their Patreon here!

Quite a few (non-sexual) adult words in these songs, so heads-up if you’re listening on speakers.
