Rest in peace, Patrick Haggerty, it was a blessing to have met you. Haggerty was a country singer and queer activist, whose 1973 album Lavender Country is widely considered to be the first openly queer country album ever made. I originally became hip to Patrick through his 2016 StoryCorps short called “The Saint of Dry Creek”, a Sundance Film Festival selection that tells the story of being young and gay in rural america, and his father, a dairy farmer, who impressed upon him the beauty in being true to yourself.

“‘Look, everybody knows I’m a dairy farmer. This is who I am.’ And he looked me square in the eye. And then he said, ‘Now, how bout you? When you’re a full-grown man, who are you gonna go out with at night?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know.’ And he said, ‘I think you do know. Now, I’m gonna tell you something today, and you might not know what to think of it now, but you’re gonna remember when you’re an adult. Don’t sneak. Because if you sneak, it means you think you’re doing the wrong thing. And if you run around spending your whole life thinking that you’re doing the wrong thing, then you’ll ruin your immortal soul.’  And out of all the things a father in 1959 could have told his gay son, my father tells me to be proud of myself and not sneak. My reaction at the time was to get out in the hay field and pretend like I was as much of a man as I could be. And I remember flipping 50-pound bales three feet up into the air going, ”I’m not a queer. What’s he talking about?” But he knew where I was headed. And he, he knew that humiliating me and making me feel bad about it in any way was the wrong thing to do. I had the patron saint of dads for sissies, and no, I didn’t know at the time, but I know it now.” - Patrick Haggerty/Lavender Country

Patrick boldly made music that I know not only touched the lives of many of us, but provided a sense of comfort, confidence, and the power of feeling seen to his queer audience. He spent his life doing the opposite of sneaking, and left us with his art and spirit. 

Taken at the OG Basement in Nashville years back after his show there.

Self Portrait on the old Appalachian Trail | Oct. 2023 After a few years of toying with the idea, more days spent objected to it than not, I’ve decided to commit to a classic, albeit crazy, bucket list adventure in 2024- thru hike the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, a 2,200 mile bipedal epic. My reasons to not thru hike it have always been longer than my reasons for wanting to do so. However, my reasons for wanting to thru hike the AT were compelling enough to lead me to this decision. So here we are.

I’ve had a gut feeling for a few years now to walk it with a camera. What that walk will be like has yet to be written. That’s part of the reason I’m doing it. There’s underlying mystery that I don’t fully appreciate just yet. Creatively, and especially physically, I know this will challenge and humble me on a level I’ve probably never known. After making this decision a few months back, I struggled with the intense emotions - sadness for leaving Alec and the cats, crippling fear of failure or going broke, missing out on photoshoots and “being forgotten” and so on. I know however that on my death bed, there’s nothing regrettable here; and if I don’t try, I will forever regret that I gave up before I started. It’s alright to be intimidated by an idea - what’s important is that you chase that wild goose before it’s out of reach. If you’ve ever wanted to work with me, NOW IS THE TIME. I’m closing off bookings Feb 5th 2024, and won’t be booking again until late Sept 2024. I’ll also be doing a flash print sale in Jan/Feb to help make extra funds prior to the journey. More on that later. Life is short, be true to yourself - AT Class of 2024 baby!

My friend Margo Price has written and recently released her first book and memoir! Do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of “Maybe We’ll Make It”. Hard to believe this photograph was from 7 years ago. We had quite the girl squad on that trip up to Newport Folk and a garden variety of misadventures, and endless laughter.  When I look back at these photos, it’s nothing but fond memories I’m so grateful for.
