Adam Sanders tried out for American Idol 13 times without any success, but then on the 14th attempt he auditioned as Ada Vox and became the show’s very first Drag Queen to be at the top. With her sensational singing voice she literally became an overnight star and her performance of ‘And I’m Telling You’ brought a rave review from Dreamgirls (musical) original Effie : Jennifer Holliday
On the eve of her #PTown Debut at Pilgrim House this coming week QUEERGURU talked with ADA about her remarkable success and how with her tenacity she has become a inspirational role model.
Queerguru jumped at the chance of interviewing Brian Calhoon when he told us he had the biggest ‘wood’ in #PTown‘. Little did we know he was talking about his 8’ marimba which to the uninitiated (!) is like a giant xylophone on which to make it even more unique he plays and sings Sondheim, showtunes and even Rufus Wainwright
NY Drag queen/actor/activist Marti Gould Cummings II is back at the Pilgrim House in #Ptown but this time during the afternoons she is performing her special Kids Show for Family Week. Queerguru sneaked in with the 5 year-olds to see what the fun was all about.
Graphic Designer Chris Bartick is living his dream , giving up the corporate life and lovingly restoring a 47 foot yacht, which is now his home, which he shares with us with a whole series of upscale charters around #PTown. He welcomed Queerguru aboard and talked about sharing his passion for sailing all summer long.
The interview conducted by Roger Walker-Dack was filmed by Dan Desjardins
