Its with a heavy heart that we mark the passing of a queer luminary, Jill Sobule. She was both the subject and a friend of Velvetpark Media. She had been featured in our magazine over the years.

Much has been written about her passing and her contributions to the music world and to queer activism, and progressive politics. I’ve re-posted a video I shot back in 2009 at the end of a multi-state tour of the US. Here Jill and Erin McKeown chit chat with me about the tour.
