QUUeer Fête
A Celebration of Queer Music, Advocacy, and Joy
Please join us on October 17, 2026
The Unitarian Church of Baton Rouge
8470 Goodwood Blvd.
Joy Clark
Louisiana-born singer-songwriter and guitarist Joy Clark brings together folk, Americana, soul, and rich Louisiana musical traditions to create a sound that is both deeply personal and unmistakably Southern. A proud, queer Black artist raised just outside New Orleans, Clark’s music explores themes of identity, freedom, love, authenticity and belonging. Her powerful songwriting, expressive vocals and exceptional guitar work have earned her national recognition, appearances at AmericanaFest, and opportunities to perform alongside artists including Allison Russell, Brandi Carlile, the Indigo Girls, and Grammy-winning musician Cyril Neville.
The Gais Do Do Band
Dance with pride to the Cajun music of the Gais Do Do Band. Their tight rhythms and French lyrics will get you up and moving. The star-studded band features Gina Forsyth on fiddle and vocals, Rosemary Benoit on accordion and fiddle and Maegen Benoit on drums and vocals. Jan Boney brings rhythm guitar and Sam Wróbel adds bass to that rhythm that keeps you on your feet. Dance like you wanna! (Photo by Robin May.)
