LGBTQ+ voices are rarely heard in the mainstream music scene. Cheap Seats is a platform for representation, visibility and discussion highlighting this diverse and intersectional community in Santa Fe and beyond. It was conceived as a way to bring talented, intellectual artists/musicians together from around the U.S. to share their voices and their art.
Visibility and representation are an effective way of supporting and building community. Please join us for the first iteration of Cheap Seats V1, featuring queer, trans, and gender non-conforming artists from Santa Fe, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New Orleans. In a time when live music events are on hold we are using the virtual space as a vital space to listen, witness, and engage with each other.
This is a free event. Please support the artist with a DONATION. We recognize times are hard and we appreciate whatever you can give to show the performers you value their work.
GLEN PARKS: New Orleans, LA
Introducing queer indie-electro-pop artist, Glen Parks. The composer, producer, vocalist is currently working on a second solo record.
“Glen Parks has a natural honesty many artists are not able to express, especially while blending multiple sounds and energies.” - Wussy Mag
“Their 2016 album ‘Startle It Up’ remains one of the most lamentably under-appreciated Dream-Pop albums in recent memory.” - Buzzbands

GLITTER VOMIT: Albuquerque, NM and Philadelphia, PA
Glitter Vomit is the solo project of Jazmyn Crosby and has had various collaborators throughout its existence. Originating from New Mexico, Glitter Vomit is currently based out of Philadelphia, PA. Mesmerized by communication and its tools, Glitter Vomit sounds like static—like long slow thoughts, vulnerable sparse and layered guitar, cell phone, radio, and vocals in a labyrinth of loops and collected audio fragments.
