My Queer Music Heritage show for July features the Outmusic Awards, held in New York City on June 1, 2003.

I want to share photos I took at the Awards, and during the week preceding it, at the Outmusic Open Mic for June, and several house concerts held at Casa Mannix. So, please, enjoy that page as well, click here.

Please visit the Outmusic web site for more information about that organization and the Outmusic Awards
