EP #116 | The Cowgays: “You Have To Come Out To Yourself First” | LIVE from CMA Fest Fan Fair X

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 [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].

voicenote to the gilpers | let’s unpack cma fest week…

Katie is back from CMA Fest and finally ready to unpack the most surreal week in Girls In Low Places history. From making her Grand Ole Opry debut and hosting a sold out CMA Fest brunch, to presenting on stages across Nashville, interviewing Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and Shaboozey, and somehow ending up featured in Rolling Stone, this is the full story behind the Instagram posts. Joined by best friend and co founder of the podcast Ozzy, Katie shares what it actually felt like to spend a week inside the country music industry’s biggest event, the emotional crash that came after it, and the moments that meant the most. Plus… the Chase Rice situation, why Luke Bryan left her completely starstruck, and why a drag brunch became one of the most important moments of the entire trip. This is the behind-the-scenes CMA Fest diary the GILPERS have been asking for.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
