2. World Wide Witch with Kay Turn Her and the Pages

Led by Kay Turner (vocals), with Viva DeConcini (guitar) and Mary Feaster (bass), the Kay Turn Her band experience turns you on, turns you out, turns you around, and marries you off to a witch wife whose demands and devotion are unending. Enter the lesbian ring of fire and feel free to sing along! Old songs and new, flavored with special guest appearances and ritual tchotchkes.

Kay Turner is an artist and scholar working across disciplines including music, songwriting, performance art, writing, and folklore. She founded the band Kay Turn Her and the Pages in 2023 and was also a founder of previous lesbian-centered music projects The Oral Tradition (1972-1977) and the Austin, Texas-based rock punk lesbian-feminist art band Girls in the Nose, (GITN) active 1985-1996, with reunion tours 2015-present. GITN released three albums and toured widely from 1991-1996. This lesbian-feminist queer activist rocker sings and writes songs that she has performed in these and other all-womyn bands over the past 48 years. Kay Turn Her and the Pages will release their first record in late 2024.

Viva DeConcini, one of the few females to be profiled in Guitar Player Magazine, plays guitar like a flaming sword, screaming train, ringing bell and scratching chicken. She sings like Freddy Mercury, had he been a woman. Viva is a principle of Kay Turner’s earlier, pre-pandemic project Otherwise: Queer Scholarship into Song. She has played all over the world, from dive bars to The Sydney Opera House; released several full length rock albums, music videos; and a queer narrative podcast. Viva is now at work on her queer feminist spaghetti western sock puppet operetta web series. Look for her on tour with her own band VIVA and with Taylor Mac. Her music is available on all streaming services.

NYC based, Mary Feaster is a long time member of The Circus Amok Band as well as collaborating with Kay Turner on Otherwise: Queer Scholarship into Song. As a member of Dean Johnson’s band The Velvet Mafia, she hosted Homocore, a monthly queer music showcase at CBGB’s. Feaster currently works with CHRISTEENE, whose recent shows performing Sinead O’Connor’s debut album in LA and NY were a major success.
