"My career has been a lesson in patience," says Annahstasia, having cultivated her musical language between blazes of intimacy and independence across different lives, locations, and iterations, loves lost and gained, expectations evaded and recreated. The rising troubadour's proximity to love — for and from others, in society at large, and deeply within herself — guides the spirit of her soulful, poetic folk songcraft.

Join your host Quinn for inclusive LGBTQ+ karaoke at Pride Place!
Inclusive karaoke has five rules:
You don’t have to be able to sing to be good at karaoke - you just have to love the song you’re singing. The more you love the song, the better you’ll be.
Respect the singer. It takes courage to come up here and all singers need from you is for you to pay attention to them and show them some love.
You absolutely can sing a song if someone else has already sung it. Karaoke isn’t a competition.
