ABOUT FLAMY GRANT:

God’s Favorite Drag Queen. Flamy Grant is here to slay shame, serve looks, and folk things up. A trailblazing Americana singer/songwriter from Asheville, North Carolina, she sets stages ablaze with blistering vocals, bold looks, brilliant songwriting, and brave storytelling.

Flamy made drag history in 2023 when her debut album Bible Belt Baby reached #1 on the iTunes Christian music charts, earning her headlines in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, Billboard, People, and more. Too big for just one genre, Flamy snatched a 2026 International Folk Music Award nomination for Best Album for her sophomore record CHURCH — which also hit #8 on the iTunes Country charts. Other accolades include Audience Favorite at the 2025 Asheville Fringe Arts Festival, a win for the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting competition, and a nomination for Drag Royalty at the 2024 Queerty Awards.

Beautifully blending her Appalachian roots with drag artistry and musical excellence, Flamy has stormed stages from Los Angeles to London, from New York to the Netherlands, racking up over 1.5 million streams on digital music platforms. This powerhouse vocalist, intrepid songwriter, and shame-slaying drag queen serves up a therapeutic, theatrical experience that is fearless, flamboyant, and full of heart. Flamy is brilliant, resilient proof that nothing is sacred (but everything is holy) — and shame belongs in the closet.

ABOUT SPENCER LAJOYE:

With a crystalline voice, a multi-instrumentalist’s command of harmony, and a virtuosic mastery of the loop pedal, LaJoye is a one-human tour-de-force, winning ears and hearts everywhere they go.

If LaJoye’s work as a songwriter had to be ruthlessly boiled down to one word, “craft” is a solid contender. Spencer’s songs dance effortlessly between theatrical grace and unhinged sincerity, with melodies that make you exhale, and turns of phrase that make you shake your head with a satisfied smirk.

LaJoye is a relentless wordsmith, harvesting endless insight out of lived experience. Since the providential and cathartic breakout of their anthemic hymn “Plowshare Prayer,” Spencer has been in non-stop motion. Spencer won the Kerrville New Folk singer/songwriter contest in 2021, and the Songwriter Serenade contest in 2024. They’ve shared stages and tours with The Crane Wives, David Wilcox, Dar Williams, Mary Gauthier, and countless greats in the singer/songwriter community.

The accolades, though exciting, pale in comparison to the word-of-mouth fervor around LaJoye’s music and ethos. Listeners of every background are finding voice for their own stories, and often driving several hours to catch a concert. Listening rooms across the continental US are selling out. Fellow songwriters are buzzing and taking note of an artistry they are excited to witness. A robust community of dedicated long-time monthly patrons (500+ and counting) is on the edge of their seats.​

Spencer is a midwesterner by birth and demeanor, and a Californian by residence and street smarts. But judging by the frequent flier miles and exhausted Honda odometer, Spencer is more a citizen of the road. Their concerts are typically a fully solo endeavor brimming with more energy than many eight-piece bands. They are a curious blend of pastoral sobriety and nimble playfulness. A Spencer LaJoye concert isn’t exactly a worship hour, a one-act drama, a melodic composition masterclass, or an unplugged emo show. But it’s never not those things.​

​

Spencer LaJoye released their technicolor debut LP Shadow Puppets in 2024, followed by the mournful Death Drive EP in 2025. Their most recent release Gentle Songs has been a fan favorite, featuring ten single-minute songs that are bite sized but fully formed.
