The following description comes from the event organizer.

Magic happens when everything comes together like it's supposed to -- when the joys and the pain, the triumphs and the missteps all click into place to be seen for what they truly are. Waylon Payne's Blue Eyes, The Harlot, The Queer, The Pusher & Me (releasing 9/11/20 via Carnival Recording Company / Empire) is such a moment, the culmination of an extraordinary journey set to music.

A son of country music royalty, a teenaged Baptist preacher turned addict and actor, Payne sings about fathers and sons, faith and addiction, recovery and renewal with devastating clarity. His character-rich collection harks back to a way of telling stories in song that revealed kept secrets and promised mystery. Over his years, Payne has felt the terrible power secrets can hold and learned the transformative value of releasing them. Finally, he's in a place where he can harness that power to create transcendent work.
