 | | Doria Roberts, singer, songwriter, organizer of the Queerstock music festival, and head of Hurricane Doria Records spoke with me from her adopted home, Atlanta about her growth as a songwriter and her role as the force behind Queerstock. |
 | | Doria began learning to play some Indigo Girls songs, who were a major inspiration to her, both as songwriters and as lesbian performers, because "their songwriting is so personal." She says that in this early period, she would write a song, and not realize what it meant until months later. |
 | | Doria says that at that point she had about 5 songs that she performed regularly, but she added to her repertoire in time to release the CD that her fans were clamoring for, The Love and The Pain, in February of 1995. |
