Shelly Fairchild, a singer-songwriter and Billboard Hot Country Singles charting recording artist, is one of the pioneers and trailblazers for the LGBTQIA+ community in the Nashville Music scene. After music row made it clear that “Queer” was not welcome during her time on a major label, Shelly dug her heels in and not only made a name for herself but has consistently created safe and inclusive spaces in Music City for artists of the Queer and the Queer Affirming community.
