‘Y’all Means All’ Member Spotlight: Greg Maupins
For Greg Maupins, Y’all Means All is more than just a concert—it’s a declaration of belonging.
“This is a concert that’s about celebrating our representation in all genres of music,” Greg shares. “It’s about claiming our space as queer folk and people of color in a space that we have always occupied, even when we are told ‘we don’t belong.’”
Moments to Watch For
Greg is especially looking forward to a few key songs in the show—each carrying its own emotional weight and message.
“Well, Black Like Me, for obvious reasons! I think a couple of other songs that will have a real impact are Light of a Clear Blue Morning for its hopeful message—because sometimes, hope is really hard to see these days—and Not Ready to Make Nice… the title says it all.”
With a mix of inspiration, resilience, and fire, Y’all Means All promises to be an unforgettable experience.
Why You Can’t Miss This Show
According to Greg, Y’all Means All is Heartland Men’s Chorus at its best.
“Just when you think you have seen it all, we take the tropes and stereotypes of an entire genre and turn it on its head! We thrive in spaces where we aren’t supposed to be. You want to be there to experience country music like you’ve never heard it before!”
What to Expect at an HMCKC Concert
“If you want to know what to expect from your first HMC concert, the truth is… expect everything!” Greg promises.
“There will be beautiful moments that will touch your heart and bring you to tears. There will be raucous, barn-burning numbers that will have you hootin’ and hollerin’. There will be tunes you’ve hummed along to for years and songs you hear for the very first time. Songs that will make you laugh and powerful songs that will challenge and inspire you to make a difference. Yep… just expect everything!”
