Queer Music News is a smattering of what’s going on in music by LGBTQ artists and the artists we love. Pop singer Kesha announced Tuesday that she will be on the road in support of her newest album Gag Order.
The 20-date tour will include support by gay singer-songwriter Jake Wesley Rogers. The tour will kick off in Dallas on Oct. 15 at The Factory in Deep Ellum.
Rogers recently headlined his own tour appearing in Dallas earlier this spring. Presales will start Wednesday at 10 a.m. with ticket sales opening Friday at 10 a.m.

RELATED: Jake Wesley Rogers moves into spotlight From publicity about the new album: Produced by Rick Rubin with Kesha as executive producer, Gag Order was described by Pitchfork as “a spare and eccentric album about coming to terms with ambivalence”, with Rolling Stone calling it “her most daring music yet”, and NPR stating that “I was just so struck about the way that this album defies all convention.” Gag Order feels like an emotional exorcism, unearthing and facing the darkness in oneself, brought to life with experimental, otherworldly production and lyrical vulnerability unlike anything the artist has written before. Concert calendar Friday: Janet Jackson at Dos Equis Pavilion.
