Get Out! GAY Magazine – Issue 432 August 21, 2019

WHAT DO YOU THINK THE
PUBLIC WILL TREASURE
THE MOST REGARDING THE
FESTIVAL?
IT’S GOING TO BE A QUEER
ENVIRONMENT, NOT BASED
ON DRAG. THERE WILL BE
A LOT OF LIVE MUSIC AND
A LOT OF ENERGY TO TAKE
IN, AND I THINK THAT
THE THING WITH LIVE
MUSICIANS THAT
CREATE AND WRITE
THEIR OWN MUSIC
AND PRODUCE IT IS
THAT THEY REALLY GET
TO SHOW THEMSELVES
AND BARE THEIR SOUL.
THE AUDIENCE WILL BE
ABLE TO CONNECT WITH
THE ARTISTS, BECAUSE
IT’S THEIR NARRATIVE,
AND THEIR SONG, THEIR
STORY, THEIR SHOW. SO I
THINK THAT CONNECTING
WITH THE ARTISTS WHEN
THEY DO THEIR SET, THEY
ARE REALLY CONNECTING
WITH THE CROWD. I THINK
THAT IS UNIQUE AND
UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN
NIGHTLIFE OR IN THE NEW
YORK EXPERIENCE.
WILL, ANYTHING
THAT YOU’D LIKE
TO ADD?
WE JUST REALLY
WANT TO GET
THE WORD OUT
ABOUT GIANT
FEST. I ALSO
HAVE A LOT
OF ORIGINAL
MUSIC ON
ITUNES, SPOTIFY,
AMAZON MUSIC,
SOUNDCLOUD.
THERE IS A LOT
OF QUEER MUSIC
THAT NEEDS TO
BE SUPPORTED BY
QUEER PEOPLE,
NOT JUST ALL THE
TOP STUFF YOU
HEAR ON THE
RADIO. THAT’S
REALLY WHAT
I REINFORCE:
SUPPORTING
LOCAL ARTISTS,
SUPPORTING THE
COMMUNITY.
THE COMMUNITY
IS ALL BUILT BY
US, THE QUEER
PEOPLE.
