Tracks of Our Queers
Fascinating LGBTQ+ people explore the soundtracks to their queer journeys through one track, one album, and one artist. Activists, trailblazers, and icons help Andy Gott piece together the precious relationship that queer people have with music.
Tracks of Our Queers
Ash Gordon, songwriter and composer
Ash Gordon is a New York-bred, LA-based songwriter, producer, and now playwright, best known for her collaborations with a galaxy of stars from RuPaul’s Drag Race, including but not limited to Trixie Mattel, Sharon Needles, Trinity the Tuck, and most prolifically, Alaska, with ten #1 albums on the iTunes charts to her name.
Together with Alaska and their collaborator Tomas Costanza, Ash wrote the book, score, and lyrics for DRAG: The Musical, a high octane, high camp spectacle currently selling out performances off Broadway.
We discuss music by the Kinks, the Spice Girls, and the B-52s. Follow Ash online, and buy tickets to DRAG: The Musical here.
