New Jersey singer-songwriter FLETCHER announces Meet Her At The Bar: Pride Month Experience
New Jersey singer-songwriter FLETCHER will be celebrating pride month with some special performances across the country.
Announced today, the singer will perform at four women-owned queer bars in Houston, Washington, D.C., New York, and San Diego. This trek, which is titled Meet Her At The Bar: Pride Month Experience, will find the singer supporting each bar financially through merch sales and other activations. Information on tickets can be found here.
FLETCHER said this about the intimate tour:
“Being on tour again for the last few months and seeing so many Queer people at my shows, dancing, laughing, crying and freely being themselves, has reminded me of the importance of safe spaces. I recently became aware of the incredible work the Lesbian Bar Project has been doing for the past few years in order to help protect these spaces which for decades have served as sanctuaries and safe havens for the Queer community. Their research has shown that in 1980 there were approximately 200 lesbian bars in operation and today there are less than 25. This has inspired me to make a few trips of my own across the country to help uplift and support women-owned Queer spaces in any way I can to ultimately create more of a conversation around the importance of keeping these spaces open for us all, now more than ever.”
For this event, FLETCHER teamed up with Lyft to also help raise money for GLAAD’s Rapid Response Initiative and Communities of Color Program. Riders can use the code “FORFLETCHER” to gain a special message from the artist. FLETCHER will raise money for both programs with Lyft and Capitol Records both matching donations up to $10,000.
FLETCHER is slated to unveil their debut album this fall.
