Queer FM Episode August 12, 2024

QueerFM Featured Guest: CAROLINE KINGSBURY/NIGEL NOLAN

8:00am - 10:00am

CAROLINE KINGSBURY (she/her/they) isn't "cool" and doesn't want to be! Textured vocals, vibrant 80s-inspired sounds, and a colorful aesthetic are rapidly winning this talented artist fans the world over. We know you are going to love what this artist brings to the table!

Despite an Evangelical upbringing in Florida, Caroline's passion for songwriting in her teenage years led to embracing her queer identity. She delved into creating infectious 80s pop/rock music, culminating in her debut album, "Heaven's Just A Flight," garnering praise from the respected online music mag, Pitchfork.

Having signed with the label Music Is Fun, Caroline released the single "Alabama" at the end of July this year as part of her upcoming EP "I Really Don't Care!" set for release in the Fall of 2024. You can find the artist on the socials at @kingsburyxx

NIGEL NOLAN (he/him) is a multidisciplinary artist who has exhibited internationally and has held solo exhibitions in Shanghai, Toronto, Buenos Aires and New York.

His portfolio of project-based work includes book projects, performances, large-scale painted installations and experimental videos. Nolan's projects are informed by two main pillars: his dedication to painting and his exploration of queer narratives. His project, Triple Slash: ///, a collaboration with American Cody Laplante is available online and free to access. Visit via www.nigelnolan.com

In Triple Slash, readers meet Cody and Nigel mid-conversation, like jumping onto an already moving train, then scroll forward in the piece and backwards in time to where they met. The


true-life account of two queer artists’ cross-genre collaboration starts in Buenos Aires and spans across years and nations. With an estimated continuous scroll time of two and a half hours, Triple Slash: /// combines paintings, poems, videos, chat-logs, emails, and even legal paperwork into a tightly-woven narrative. The vertical interface makes a friend of the viewer, pulling them into the reality of an ever-deepening relationship. Check him out on Insta at @nigel.nolan
