## Resource

Recorded LIVE from CMA Fest Fan Fair X, Katie sits down with The Cowgays for a conversation about queer country music, finding community in Nashville and creating space for everyone in the genre they love. The trio share how a drunken singalong in Mexico accidentally turned into one of country music’s most exciting new groups, discuss coming out, navigating Nashville as LGBTQ+ artists and why representation on country music’s biggest stages still matters. Plus… drag queen alter egos, dating app disasters, listener dilemmas from the Cowgays Hotline, queer hoedowns, 90s country nostalgia and a live performance of their powerful new single Kids Like Us . As The Cowgays put it… “You have to come out to yourself first.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
