On this episode, Caroline and Kevin are joined by returning guest Flamy Grant as they delve into the intersections of faith, identity, and creativity. Flamy shares their journey from Christian music artist to full-time musician and drag artist, discussing the challenges and triumphs along the way.

Flamy opens up about their personal story, including the inspiration behind their new album "Church" and their song tribute to Leslie Jordan. They also share their experiences with the church and the impact of finding supportive community.

Flamy reflects on the importance of authenticity, self-acceptance, and resilience in the face of adversity. They discuss their commitment to representing and showing up for marginalized communities through their music and performances.

“Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from Asheville, North Carolina. Her 2022 debut record, Bible Belt Baby, reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Christian Chart (the first drag performer to achieve this feat), was nominated for Best Pop Album at the San Diego Music Awards, and was named one of the Top Ten Queer Country Albums of 2023 by Rainbow Rodeo Magazine. Her single “Good Day” debuted at #20 on the Billboard Christian digital sales chart. Her 2024 sophomore album “CHURCH” reached #8 on the iTunes Country Chart.

Flamy is a winner of the 2023 Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Competition, a 2023 QueerX Award nominee for Best Drag Artist, and a 2024 Queerty Award nominee for Drag Royalty. She is also a finalist for the 2025 International Folk Music Awards Artist of the Year and has been featured in Rolling Stone, Billboard,Entertainment Weekly, People, and more. Her music has over 1.2 million streams on Spotify, Apple, and Amazon music. A powerhouse vocalist and intrepid songwriter who blends folk, gospel, and roots, Flamy drags audiences into a therapeutic, theatrical mix of storytelling and song.

Armed with a bold lip and a blistering voice, Flamy is brilliant, resilient proof that nothing is sacred (but everything is holy) and shame belongs in the closet.”
