2024 Drag Revival, is a vibrant celebration of faith and LGBTQIA+ pride presented by Drag Daddy Productions. This event has become a notable annual tradition kicking off Pride Month for the Louisville, Kentucky LGBTQIA+ community. Over the past three years, the event has provided a space for the LGBTQIA+ community and allies to express their faith in a queer-affirming environment. And this year’s entertainment is all of the buzz!
Hosted By
MAY o’NAYS
This all-ages, family-friendly event will feature a variety of performances by beloved drag queens such as The Alexis, Selene St. Claire, Nina Na’shae’ Rose’, and the infamous May O’Nays. This year will also include performances, heartfelt testimonies and stories of faith from local community members like Pat Mathison, Derrick Palmer, Stephanie Collins, Troy Bell, and Steven Michael Carr.
WITH PERFORMANCES AND TESTIMONIES FROM
STARRING FLAMY GRANT
The highlight of the evening will be an electrifying performance by Flamy Grant, an award-winning, Billboard-charting drag queen known for her dynamic blend of folk, gospel, and roots music. Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from western North Carolina. She has been featured in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, People, Billboard, and more. Both a powerhouse vocalist and an intrepid songwriter, Flamy blends the art of drag with her iconic folk/rock sound to create a memorable musical experience.
It’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. 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, a big lash, and a blistering voice, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful, uplifting church of her own making. This down-to-earth diva has entertained music lovers from Los Angeles to Nashville with her funny, frank, and fabulous songs.
