‘Y’all Means All’ Member Spotlight: Matthew Allen
For Matthew Allen, Y’all Means All isn’t just a concert—it’s a statement.
“This show is a beacon of hope, inclusion, and resilience,” he says. “It’s about reclaiming space in a genre that hasn’t always felt welcoming to everyone and making sure that every voice, every story, and every heart has a place in this music.”
As a longtime country music fan, Matthew is thrilled to showcase the genre’s rich storytelling, harmonies, and emotional depth—and of course, the dancing!
“I must admit, for a long time, I was somewhat of a closet-case country fan,” he laughs. “But as I matured, I became more and more boisterous about my love for country music. I’m most excited about the dancing in this show and the energy some of these songs bring to the moment.”
Why You Should Attend Y’all Means All
If you think this is just another choral concert—think again!
“Y’all Means All is a full-on experience,” Matthew says. “It’s got heart, energy, joy, and a little bit of drama—just like the best country music does! Whether you love a good line dance, a soulful ballad, or a medley packed with hits, this show has something for everyone.”
“You’ll laugh, sing along, maybe even shed a tear, but most of all, you’ll feel something. And in a world that can feel so divided, that kind of connection is everything.”
What to Expect at an HMCKC Concert
Matthew promises that an HMCKC concert isn’t just a performance—it’s a full-on production.
“Expect powerhouse vocals, dynamic performances, and a show that delivers beyond its promise,” he says. “It’s the perfect way to escape, enjoy incredible music, and, let’s be honest—have a gay ol’ time!”
