ASHEVILLE, NC - Award-winning and Billboard-charting artist Flamy Grant is a shame-slaying, hip-swaying, singing-songwriting drag queen from Asheville, North Carolina who continues to take on the evangelical establishment with her latest release “Last Days” featuring Chris Housman, out on July 12. The single, “a much needed reminder and message of hope,” is premiering today exclusively at The Honey Pop.
The track addresses the firestorm that launched Flamy Grant’s debut album Bible Belt Baby to the top of the iTunes Christian music charts. In July 2023, Flamy drew ire from worship leader Sean Feucht as he declared that it was “truly the last days” while posting a picture of Grant with other current and former Christian musicians including Derek Webb, Jennifer Knapp, and Plumb on X, formerly Twitter.
“an empowering country anthem about hatred and bigotry coming to an end… Flamy’s powerful vocals, along with Chris Housman’s shine through in this dynamic track” – The Honey Pop
“If these truly are the last days,” say Grant, “let them be the last days of bigotry, shame, and gatekeeping. I hope ‘Last Days’ will serve as a celebratory rally cry for Christians who are tired of their faith being used to tyrannize and politically persecute the LGBTQ+ community, women, BIPOC folks, and everyone else currently suffering at the hands of evangelicals who have sold their integrity for political power.”
Joining Flamy on the track is rising Nashville country star Chris Housman who lends his signature smooth vocals on this rollicking, raw duet that welcomes an apocalypse of sorts. “I know you’re afraid your supremacy is coming to an end,” he croons over the swampy electric guitars, organ and drums brought together by music director and 2024 Americana Music Association nominee for Best Instrumentalist Megan McCormick.
It is the second single, preceded by the pride anthem “S.P.R.K.L.,” from the forthcoming album CHURCH due September 27th.
ABOUT FLAMY GRANT
It’s no accident that Flamy’s drag name is an homage to Amy Grant, the undisputed queen of Christian music and 90s chart-topping pop artist. Much of Flamy’s music centers on the queer spiritual journey, telling stories of resilience and recovery from religious trauma in a world where LGBTQ+ people are frequently ignored by, harmed in, or ejected from religious spaces. With a bold lip, a big lash, and a blistering voice, Flamy drags audiences to a soulful, uplifting church of her own making.
Flamy’s 2022 debut Bible Belt Baby, garnered international attention when it reached the #1 spot on the iTunes Christian Charts. Her music has over 750,000 streams on Spotify, Apple, and Amazon music. A powerhouse vocalist and intrepid songwriter who blends folk, gospel, and roots, Flamy drags you into a therapeutic, theatrical mix of storytelling and song.

Apart from the limited nature, the other big change between the 300 Carbon LE and the 300 Carbon COSC is the dial, which is link both no longer finished in bare carbon but also forgoes the U.S. link Divers Aqua Lung logo. To my eyes, the carbon dial will always be very cool, but I won't for a moment miss the logo. I understand why people like it, but over time, it has come link to feel a bit like buying a new sports car and putting vintage-era racing stickers on it.
It's a dual product, it's both physical and digital, he said. "There's a lot of creativity that link can be brought to a screen in the digital space. I think we've just touched the surface link on what we can do from a creative standpoint on the screen; that's a trend you'll see coming from link TAG Heuer in the years to come."
Before I moved to Bangkok and started looking for the watch in earnest, I link saw them come up for sale on the forums every now and again. First they were listed for just over a thousand dollars in the mid-aughts, then a year or two later for about $2,000. This was during link a time when link a standard orange or black monster was roughly $200. The Yellow Monster was a grail of mine, but more than a grand for a 7S26-based Seiko? No way.
While there were certainly a significant number of GMT Masters flown on the various Apollo missions link (including on all three crew members of Apollo 14, to pick just one example) finding clear evidence that any GMT Master was on the link lunar surface is a bit more challenging (Roosa, for instance, was the CSM pilot on Apollo 14 so his watch, while flown, did not make it to the actual surface of the Moon). The Evans watch, in any case, is the link only one which has ever come up for auction.
The "Swiss Made" variant continues with the shorter more link angular ends to the numerals. The most defining characteristic appears to be the white paint. This has the thickest application of the paint-filled numerals of any model and bears greater link resemblance to the "Blackout" in that regard, as far as the look of the numerals themselves. This variant maintains rectangular holes at 6 link and 9.
