SoLost: Christmas with the Dickson Chicks

The Chicks have a reputation as Nashville's greatest living drag gospel act

After Jewly Hight described the raucous spectacle of Marlene, Carlene, and Darlene performing in a drag gospel show at a downtown Nashville gay bar in the Tennessee Music issue, we at SoLost were moved to go witness this extraordinary group in person. Not least of all because Jewly herself—a.k.a. Cousin Pussyfoot—participates as a clogger and drummer.

The Chicks have a reputation as Nashville's greatest living drag gospel act, yet little video evidence of these spirited performers actually exists. We decided to remedy that. And when we heard there was still time to witness “Gaytivity,” their legendary Christmas show ... well, that was it. We packed our bags and headed for Nashville.
