Please don’t write off all country music as being like this.
S.G. Goodman
Kaia Kater
Melissa Carper
Iris Marlowe
Orville Peck
Little Mazarn (a guaranteed religious experience every time for me; cannot recommend enough)
H.C. Mcentire/Mount Moriah
Amy Ray
Grace Givertz
Amythyst Kiah
Carson McHone
Creekbed Carter Hogan
Adeem the Artist
Charlotte Cornfield
Sierra Ferrell
Jaimee Harris
Mckain Lakey
Diane Cluck (more folksy, but my unofficial shaman makes the list)
This is an incredibly short and incomplete list of country and folk music that isn’t right wing garbage. I don’t even personally listen to many of the more mainstream alternative country options. I listen to some amount of all of these people. I love love love folk and country music, and there are musicians out there making it just for me these days. Just avoid radio play garbage, and you’ll find that most forms of Americana are super gay and progressive.
