.findingfletcher talks queer representation, going back to her roots for dive bar show & more PrideMonth
, Fletcher is bringing her music to a yet-undisclosed dive bar in San Francisco, CA for a special, intimate performance.
Honestly, it feels like such a full circle moment for me, and it felt like such a natural thing for me to do, because that's where I started playing my first shows -- at dive bars in Asbury Park, New Jersey. So to be able to go back to that and to really get to connect with fans in this intimate setting again is still my favorite way to play shows. So the fact that Bud Light's helping me make that happen is so cool, and it's really important to me.
There's still so much work that needs to be done. It's incredible how far we have come, but I still think we have work to do in terms of representation and inclusion. Specifically for the trans community, I think there is still so much light that needs to be shed on those artists and issues. Trans people of color are the most marginalized and underrepresented group within our community, and I think if we just continue to lift them up and highlight those stories...
It has absolutely given me a lot more confidence, to be able to see a return of my really hard work. But it's always just been about the music for me, because the fact that I am a queer artist is ultimately a small part of the story. I hope the world, one day, is a place where nobody has to come out ever again. But I do need to recognize my privilege in being able to speak about my sexuality and my identity as openly as I do.
