Country Karaoke Night in Los Angeles: A Queer Twist on Rootin’ Tootin’ Hootenanny
Los Angeles – The KFM Karaoke Country Revue at Permanent Records Roadhouse in Glassell Park is not your typical country show. It’s a celebration where honky-tonk culture meets the queer community in a unique, intimate setting. Led by Sam Buck, known for his podcast KFM Country Radio, this monthly event is a haven for performers of all backgrounds to come together and celebrate country music in a way that embraces diversity and joy.
A Night of Inclusivity and Musical Revelry
At the Karaoke Country Revue, the stage is open to everyone, from seasoned performers to first-timers. Artists like Rosie Ruell, Sedona, Loren Kramar, and more take the stage to belt out classic country tunes with their own twist. Each performance is a blend of talent, emotion, and creativity, showcasing the beauty and complexity of country music.
Breaking Boundaries and Embracing Diversity
The KFM Karaoke Country Revue is more than just a show; it’s a statement. It’s a space where country music transcends stereotypes and welcomes performers of all identities. From pop stars to energy workers to real estate agents, each performer brings their own unique voice and perspective to the stage, creating a vibrant tapestry of talent and creativity.
A Love Letter to Country Music
For Sam Buck, the mastermind behind the Karaoke Country Revue, this event is a labor of love. Born and raised in coastal Massachusetts, far from the traditional heartland of country music, Buck found solace and inspiration in the genre. Through KFM and the Karaoke Country Revue, he has created a space where country music can be celebrated, reimagined, and shared with a diverse and enthusiastic audience.
As the night unfolds, with voices raised in song and laughter filling the air, it’s clear that the KFM Karaoke Country Revue is more than just a show—it’s a community. It’s a place where music lovers, artists, and fans can come together to share their love for country music in all its messy, beautiful glory. And in a city as vast and diverse as Los Angeles, that sense of connection and camaraderie is something truly special.
