Multiple-award-winning and chart-topping drag artist Flamy Grant is coming to the Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series on Friday, June 27 at 7:30 pm at the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, 21 Normandy Heights Rd., Morristown. Local band Marry The Sea will open.
Shame-slaying, hip-swaying drag queen Flamy Grant is a powerhouse vocalist and award-winning songwriter based in Asheville, NC. She blends country, folk, gospel, and roots music to deliver a theatrical, therapeutic, and wholly original experience of intrepid storytelling, all shared through the evocative art of drag. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Christian Chart, the first drag artist ever to do so, and was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards. In 2023, she won the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition. Her 2024 sophomore album, CHURCH, charted at #8 on the iTunes Country Chart, and she was a nominee for Artist of the Year at the 2025 International Folk Music Awards. Prominent folk artist Susan Werner calls her “a national treasure.”
Having grown up in an evangelical household, much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip and a blistering voice, Flamy Grant drags audiences to a soulful, uplifting church of her own making.
The soaring vocal power of Maplewood, NJ, based band Marry the Sea delivers timeless messages of love and empowerment from the landscape of our modern world. Their original compositions, pitch-perfect harmonies, and brilliant acoustic interplay of guitars and violin transform listeners, while upright bass and drums further expand their inspiring sound.
