Flamy Grant, Jennifer Knapp, and Crys Matthews
Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Christian Charts, and she is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition. A powerhouse vocalist, intrepid songwriter, and irreverent comedy queen, Flamy drags you into a therapeutic, theatrical mix of music and storytelling. Armed with a bold lip and a blistering voice, Flamy is proof positive that nothing is sacred (but everything is holy); shame belongs in the closet; and you are a brilliant, resilient badass ready to take on the world. Jennifer Knapp, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, speaker, and advocate, has spent over two decades leaving an indelible mark on the music industry. Selling over one million albums with her first three releases, including the Gold-certified “Kansas” (1998), she’s a four-time Dove Award winner and two-time Grammy nominee. Already being hailed as “the next Woody Guthrie,” Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. A powerful lyricist whose songs of compassionate dissent reflect her lived experience as what she lightheartedly calls “the poster-child for intersectionality,” Justin Hiltner of Bluegrass Situation called Matthews’s gift “a reminder of what beauty can occur when we bridge those divides.” She is made for these times and, with the release of her new album Reclamation and her 2021, hope-fueled, love-filled social justice album Changemakers, Matthews hopes to take her place alongside some of her heroes in the world of social-justice music like Sweet Honey in the Rock and Holly Near. Of Matthews, ASCAP VP & Creative Director Eric Philbrook says, “By wrapping honest emotions around her socially conscious messages and dynamically delivering them with a warm heart and a strong voice, she lifts our spirits just when we need it most in these troubled times.”
