<h2>QUEER JOY WITH AN APPALACHIAN BACKBEAT</h2>

Bear witness to a rhinestoned revival featuring the drag star who has the music world doing a double-take. This Pride season, Flamy Grant&nbsp;takes you into a world where her Appalachian roots meet high-octane drag artistry in a storytelling concert unlike any other.

After her history-making debut at <a href="https://www.merryallcenter.org/search/posts?query=%23#1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">#1</a> on the Christian music charts (yes, you read that correctly!) and a recent Best Album nomination&nbsp;at the 2026 International Folk Music Awards, Flamy Grant is hitting the road with a show equal parts sanctuary and spectacle. This isn’t your average singer-songwriter with a guitar. Flamy serves award-winning songs, eye-popping style, and open-hearted stories in one extraordinary evening that will set your soul ablaze.

Expect blistering vocals that soar as high as her wig, laugh-out-loud anecdotes from a recovering evangelical, and vivacious energy that only a Billboard-charting drag queen&nbsp;can deliver. Flamy’s is a voice that demands to be heard — and with her pipes, that’s never going to be a problem.
Strap in, darlings. The Queen of Queer Country is here to make this Pride month unforgettable. Tickets - $30
