The Folk Collective: Inaugural Pride Month Event

Music has forever been an avenue through which communities gather, grow, and shape their identities. It’s a common denominator; a tool used to relate to each other and the world around us. For queer and trans individuals, finding a musical community with others that accept them as they are can be life-changing and even life-saving. On June 22nd, Maddy Simpson (in partnership with Club Passim and the Folk Collective) will present six queer & trans musicians in a night of in-the-round style performances. The night will feature original and traditional music by Anju, Roman Barten-Sherman, Jarsch, Sweet Petunia, Naomi Westwater, and Lee Zangari. As we celebrate Pride together, remember the importance of acceptance, equity, and respect for all.
