@alexsturbaum.com and I have been dreaming up a folk music festival, welcoming to all, that’s designed to uplift trans and gender non-conforming talent in traditional music. We have a venue, we have a lineup (TBA soon!), and now we want to spread the word! Our website is transtradfest.org

Here's a little reel I wrote last year called Expect Resistance (as in, respect my existence or expect my resistance). Felt timely to share it with the world; hope y'all like it.
