Pride-Apalooza Drag Brunch
2026-06-13 12:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | Harken Hall, 514 Madison Station Blvd, Madison, TN, 37115, United States
There’s brunch, and then there’s this.
On June 13, Harken Hall turns the volume all the way up with PRIDE-APALOOZA Drag Brunch — a full-on celebration of Pride that trades quiet mimosas for big energy, bold looks, and performances that don’t hold back. This isn’t background entertainment while you pick at eggs. It’s the main event.
Holding court is the effortlessly magnetic Kennedy Ann Scott, guiding the room through a lineup that knows exactly how to work a crowd. Justine Van de Blair brings precision and polish. Delta Granta leans into high drama. Paris Del’Ray delivers pure charisma. Ivy St. James ties it all together with style to spare. Five queens, five distinct flavors and no filler.
Expect sharp wit, big vocals, and the kind of stage presence that pulls you in whether you came for the show or just thought you did. The Pride theme isn’t just a label here, it runs through everything, from the performances to the atmosphere in the room.
Come ready to cheer, tip, laugh, and maybe spill a drink or two. That’s part of it.
Seats won’t stay open long.

Together, this lineup captures the spirit of Music City Roots — where tradition meets innovation, and every performance tells a story worth hearing.

Pynk Beard at Harken Hall

Pynk Beard

Some artists spend years trying to get noticed. Sebastian Kole already did that.
If you’ve listened to the radio in the past decade, you’ve heard his work. He’s had a hand in songs for Alessia Cara, Alicia Keys, John Legend and Jennifer Lopez. “Scars to Your Beautiful” and “Here” don’t land without intention. That’s a writer who knows exactly where the pressure point is in a song — and how to press it.
But PYNK BEARD isn’t about staying behind the curtain.
This is Kole stepping out front, and he’s not easing into it. The sound comes out of where he started — Southern roots, gospel in the foundation, country storytelling — but it doesn’t sit still. It stretches. It leans. At times, it swerves just enough to remind you this isn’t nostalgia; it’s something being built in real time.
You hear the church in it right away. Not just in the vocals, but in the conviction. You hear the South, too — not the postcard version, the lived-in one. And underneath it all is someone who’s spent years shaping other artists’ voices, now using his own.
There’s a point being made, but it’s not heavy-handed. Country music hasn’t always made space for voices like his. PYNK BEARD doesn’t wait for permission — he steps in and claims it.
Live, that shift matters. Songs carry more weight when they come from someone with something to say — and the room tends to feel it.
On July 11, Harken Hall offers the right kind of setting. Close, a little raw, the kind of place where a performance can settle in and take hold.
For anyone paying attention to where country, soul and gospel are starting to intersect, this is a night worth showing up for.

Andy Griggs with special guests The Messyboyz

There’s a certain kind of country music that doesn’t fade, the kind that sticks with you. The kind you heard on the radio years ago and still know every word to today.
On Saturday, July 25, that sound comes to Harken Hall as Andy Griggs takes the stage for a night built on timeless hits, Southern soul, and pure country storytelling.
Raised in Monroe, Louisiana, Griggs grew up on a rich mix of influences — Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings, Bill Monroe — blending country, blues, gospel, and rock into a sound uniquely his own. That signature style helped land him 13 singles on the Billboard country charts, including six Top 10 hits and chart-toppers like “You Won’t Ever Be Lonely” and “She’s More.” Decades later, those songs still resonate, delivered with the same heart and grit that made them hits in the first place.
The evening begins with The Messyboyz at 7 p.m., setting the tone with a high-energy mix of country, rock, and pop. Led by Les Richardson and Dallas Hendrix, the band is known for electrifying performances, crowd interaction, and an infectious energy that turns every show into an experience. Their emphasis on fun, familiar songs, and nonstop momentum makes them the perfect kickoff to the night.
This is more than a concert, this show is a chance to step into an intimate room, hear songs you grew up on, and experience them in a way you can’t anywhere else.
