Much ado is (rightfully) made about the lack of representation for female artists on country radio. But far less talked about are the difficulties faced by queer women seeking any visibility — radio or otherwise — in the country and Americana scenes. On Tuesday, the filmmakers behind Invisible: Gay Women in Southern Music will premiere a film that seeks to highlight exactly that: the plights of queer women artists trying to make it in the “man’s town” of Nashville. (You may remember the film from the Scene’s 2019 Pride Issue, which featured an interview with producer Bill Brimm about the documentary’s fundraising goals.) Featured queer artists in the film include Mary Gauthier, Ruthie Foster and Chely Wright, with appearances from genre mainstays like Emmylou Harris, Pam Tillis, Rodney Crowell and others. This event has sold out. 7 p.m. at the Belcourt, 2102 Belcourt Ave. BRITTNEY McKENNA
