The official merchandise store for Queer Music Midwest.

Queer Music Midwest is a budding performing arts organization with simple goals?to uplift queer musicmakers across the Midwestern United States and enrich the communities they live in. At QMM, we recognize the power that music has to enact change. Midwestern LGBTQIA+ artists face unique struggles due to lack of resources and opportunities to present their work. We address these inadequacies by creating spaces for queer musicmakers to engage with their communities and let their freak flags fly.

Our inaugural festival Queer Music Midwest 2026 (#QMM26) takes place on April 11th, 2026 at BLIXT Arts Labs in Lincoln, Nebraska. Featuring performers from a wide range of styles, genres, and instrumentations, as well as performances of compositions by queer Midwestern composers, this festival is just our first step towards connecting queer musicians with their communities.
