ART PHAG: OUTMusic celebration @ Tabu Lounge

The OUTMusic Awards—a celebration of the LGBTQ community's contribution to the music industry—won't happen until next month in New York City, but Philly's getting in on some of the action first. Tonight from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. at Tabu Lounge (200 S. 12th St.), there's going to be a benefit to celebrate the LGBT Academy of Recording Artists (LARA), the show's organizers. Special guests include Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of LARA Deidre Meredith and Philly's own openly trans organist T. Desiree Hines, who will perform in the show next month. Hines says there's a $20 admission fee at the door, but that will afford you an open bar supplied with "vodka cocktails, wine and a little bit of food," she says. "And you get to support a great cause." A portion of the evening's earnings will benefit the Sponsor a Young Person Initiative, a program that aids youth abandoned by their families. See you there, girls and boys! For more on Desiree's contribution to the OUTMusic Awards, check Queer Bait in this week's issue.

This is one of the best photos of her, and really captures her essence.
