We are delighted to join Lavender Country and Billions in announcing more Lavender Country live performance dates for the fall of 2014, their first tour in forty years. In addition to the previously announced dates, the band will be playing Philadelphia, Washington, DC, New York, and Boston.

You may already be familiar with fearless first-generation gay liberation activist, singer, and songwriter Patrick Haggerty through our reissue of Lavender Country’s 1973 debut album and the subsequent chorus of critical acclaim from NPR, The Guardian, Pitchfork, MOJO, the CBC, The Boston Globe, Libération, Uncut, Out, Newstalk, Grantland, and many others. Recognized as the first openly gay country album, Lavender Country is at once a scathing indictment of the injustices perpetrated on the homosexual community, a proud proclamation of gay identity, and a love letter of bracing intimacy and eroticism. Forty years later, the ten revolutionary gay anthems it contains continue to shake listeners out of their complacency, memorializing the struggle for gay liberation with humor and heartache.

Since reissuing Lavender Country’s self-titled 1973 LP, we have been humbled and overjoyed by the positive response to this landmark work. An initial reunion show in March in Los Angeles left the audience spellbound. Now it’s time for us to take a back seat and let Patrick and his band share their energy and experiences live during this series of historic concerts and storytelling sessions.

We hope you’ll consider covering this exciting next chapter in Patrick’s story and joining him and his band at one of these shows!
