Matty Frank / CSB / Debbie The Artist / JR - LGBTQ Center Benefit!

Matty Frank 

"I've been small town, i've been big city. i've been Grimes and i've been Soccer Mommy. but i still haven't been to Dorothea Dix Park, can we please go for the love of GOD.  Self taught in almost all of his musical and engineering knowledge, multi instrumentalist and vocalist matty frank audaciously combines powerhouse pop/r&b vocal runs with introspective and moody indie folk rock sound palettes inspired by the genre's saddest of lesbians. with lyricism at once infinitesimally specific and boundlessly universal, matty frank aims to show that queer people have much more to talk about than same sex attraction."

Debbie The Artist (they/themme) is a non-binary black-queer-feminist musician who embodies the power of creative expression as a vehicle for social change. Unapologetic in the pursuit of social justice and racial equity, Debbie pictures a revolutionary society where folks can exercise their fundamental human rights free from fear. This abolitionist politic shows up in all that they do. When they say, “Art is who and what I am”, what they mean is art is their tool, their medicine, their voice and vision. The songbird hails from Durham, North Carolina where they shake, make, bake, and create. Debbie writes music rooted primarily in the lived experiences of love, loss, magic, and triumph.

JR is Outlaw queer country singer/songwriter based in Durham, North Carolina. Blending elements of bluegrass, classic country, folk, and blues to tell the often unheard story of being queer in the rural south.
