Love this new song about a homeless kid at Christmas. Listen to the words. December proceeds from this song are donated to the Albert Kennedy Trust to aid homeless LGBT youth. Happy Holidays!

LGBT Music Monday – Sonia Leigh
One of the headlining musicians at the 43rd Atlanta Pride Festival, Sonia Leigh has played with Loretta Lynn, Willie Nelson, Eli Young Band and Uncle Kracker, just to name a few. One listen to this country gal and you’re hooked. Connect with Sonia and find all her music on her website.
Music Monday – Neil Cribbs
Musician Neil Cribbs was playing at the Atlanta Pride Fest a few weeks ago, and I didn’t get a chance to go. So I did the next best thing, I went over to Youtube to see what the man was about. I wasn’t disappointed, and I will make it a point to see him the next time I have a free moment. If you like blues and soul as much as I do, you’ll likely love his sound. Check him out below. You can find more on his website or connect with him on Twitter. I would also like to make note of the fact that Neil does extensive volunteer work at the local children’s hospitals, bringing music and smiles whenever he enters.
Disclaimer: I usually feature LGBT artists on this blog, but I don’t know Neil’s orientation, and frankly I don’t care. I like his music.
LGBT Music Monday – Ray Curenton
Great artist, great voice, and this song in particular (below) asks a pertinent question. Check out his CD CARDIAC ARREST at BandCamp
LGBT Music Monday – Matt Alber
Sometimes it’s just better to let the music speak for itself, but you should be aware that this openly gay singer/songwriter started his singing career in a church in Missouri. Needless to say, he chafed against the animosity he found there and has become a profound musical talent in his own right. His latest CD only solidifies what many in the LGBT community already know: he’s freaking awesome.
You can find Matt Alber’s touring schedule on his website, connect with him on Twitter or Facebook, or purchase his CD from CDBaby.
LGBT Music Monday – Ryan Amador
If you haven’t heard Ryan Amador yet, you’re missing out. His new CD was just released on June 28th and is quickly gaining momentum.
The song DEFINE ME, an ode to LGBT equality, was released exclusively on Ryan Amador’s bandcamp in conjunction with his live performance at the True Colors LGBT Youth Conference on March 22nd. 100% of its proceeds was donated to organizations working towards LGBT equality.
Have a listen to several of his newest tunes below.
You can find out more about his music, his touring schedule and get links to purchase from his website, RyanAmador.com. (See his videos on Youtube.)
