Keynote Presentation: Flamy Grant

Shame-slaying, hip-swaying, chart-topping performer Flamy Grant is a powerhouse vocalist and award-winning songwriter based in Asheville, NC. With over 1.2 million streams on digital platforms and an IFMA nomination for 2025 Artist of the Year (alongside Allison Russell, Crys Matthews, Sarah Jarosz, and more), Flamy blends country, folk, gospel, and roots music to deliver a theatrical, therapeutic, and wholly original experience of intrepid storytelling, all shared through the evocative art of drag.

With her new full-length studio album CHURCH, Flamy is once again poised to set the disparate worlds of country music, Christian music and queer culture ablaze with a message that is incendiary to some, and a cauterizing balm to many.
