350: Queer Folk with Sherika Sherard, Adae + Constance Sojourner

  • St John's Leytonstone 825 High Road Leytonstone London, England, E11 1HH United Kingdom (map)

Queer Folk: LGBTQIA+ people have always existed. So where are they in traditional songs and music? Queer Folk was created by Sophie Crawford and George Sansome to amplify the voices of LGBTQIA+ performers, foster collaborations, and encourage the building of LGBTQIA+ community within the folk, roots, and traditional music scene.

Note Constance has replaced Island Girl who is now unfortunately unable to be with us

Sherika Sherard is an independent Singer/Songwriter from South London, fusing Lyrical Soul and Folk. Has opened for Legendary Musician ‘Seal’ and recently featured on Spike Lee’s Netflix series “She’s Gotta Have it”.

Using Poetry, Rap and Music, Adae invites you into their world, pontificating on Mental health, Queer Faith, Traditional spirituality and generally figuring out existing.

Imagine if folk and neo-soul fell in love and eloped, the product of which was a really angsty love child. Hold onto that image when listening to Constance Sojourner and it will frame her musical offerings as she flits between fun uke pop-bops and forlorn love songs.
