Orville Peck

Country artist and songwriter Orville Peck joins Joel Madden on this week's episode of Artist Friendly. Since his arrival, Peck has become synonymous with the queer side of country music. With his 2019 debut album, Pony, the fringe-masked musician proved that punk and country are alike while rocking a dark baritone and breaking genre conventions. His follow-up, 2022’s Bronco, explored those freedoms more deeply. From his friendship with drag queen Trixie Mattel to crooning about his lovers, Peck offers necessary representation in country music. You can also catch Peck live at his upcoming Rodeo festival, which serves as a three-day celebration of country music, comedy, drag, and more. Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.  ------- Host: Joel Madden, @joelmadden Executive Producers: Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Jillian King Producers: Josh Madden, Joey Simmrin, Janice Leary Visual Producer/Editor: Ryan Schaefer Audio Producer/Composer: Nick Gray Music/Theme Composer: Nick Gray Cover Art/Design: Ryan Schaefer Additional Contributors: Anna Zanes, Neville Hardman Learn more about your ad choices.
