Out, Proud, Dyke Country Band
Have cowboy boots, will travel. Bushy Park would love to play your pride festival stage or dance. We are a dyke country band with a fun, quirky, musical repertoire of gender-flipped covers and queer originals. We tell stories set to lively sing-along tunes about our community – Jane the lute loving lesbian, grandma the butch carpenter, Yvonne the trans gal miner, Bobby who is in love with the boy and bi gals named Jolene. Fun, inclusive, professional and very very gay for your day. Country music is music with stories about everyday people – except in this case it’s everyday queer people. Our shows also work well for multi-age crowds. Straight people strangely love us too. We are professional, on time, and on task, easy to book and work with.
Contact us at 604-813-7674 or to inquire. We are setting up our Pride tour of BC now.
Ask for our fees plus expenses (ferry, gas, billeting, sound rental if required etc…) No budget for performer fees this year? Need help with a fundraiser? Contact us and we’ll see what we can do.
