The LGBTQ+ music scene lit up in Nashville on Monday during the Love Rising benefit concert organized against the recent passage of legislation targeting transgender health care and drag performances. More than 10,000 people attended the event in person, with more having livestreamed the show. The groups benefiting from the event include the Tennessee Equality Project, the Tennessee Pride Chamber, OutMemphis, and Inclusion Tennessee. Spearheaded by queer singer-songwriter Allison Russell, the show highlighted the diversity in country, Americana, and rock music as well as the queer musicians paving the way in these genres.
