The fabulous star PEPPERMINT who wowed RuPaul’s Drag Race fans back in Season Nine has made a name for herself since then as an actress and singer with big roles on Broadway, including starring in “Head Over Heels”, the Go-Gos musical and releasing several musical albums.

Now the transgender activist is hitting the road for a multi-city tour to promote her latest release, Moment of Weakness: Letters To My Lovers . The nationwide tour in July will include stops in Portland (at the Hawthorne Theatre on July 17th) and Seattle’s Chop Suey on Monday, July 18th. You can snag tickets for all her shows, over at her website: http://peppermintonline.com/events/

Peppermint got a lot of social media attention last month with her Janet Jackson dance video tribute in honor of the singer’s birthday…Janet loved it so much, she shared it on her social media. Peppermint explains her love of Janet:

“Janet Jackson has always been an icon and I’ve always idolized her. Whether gathering High School football players as reluctant dancers, teaching the routine at a summer camp talent show or putting together some of my own shows, I have always modeled my live performances after Janet’s but up until this moment most of those are just memories with nothing to show and no way to look back on. Now that I have the ability, I wanted to do those performances justice. I gathered a bunch of friends who are also big fans of Janet to put together a dance tribute video of “If” from her 1993 album: Janet. Happy Birthday Miss Jackson!! – said Peppermint

“I’m so proud of this music. I’m proud that I was able to create something that comes directly from the heart and speaks to our community and the issues that affect us, transgender people deserve to experience love and have our story’s told publicly. I work hard to create music that would have made the ten-year-old me proud. I’m so excited to get on the road and meet all of my supporters and tell the Stories Behind The Music! This tour is going to be unlike anything I’ve ever done before!” Love, Peppermint.

Moment of Weakness: Letters To My Lovers via PEG Records/Warner Music Group/ADA is the second in a trilogy of album releases about the three stages of Peppermint’s most recent relationship and is available HERE

A Girl Like Me: Letters To My Lovers released in October 2020 was the first in the trilogy and featured her steamy single & video, “Best Sex.” The “Best Sex” official music video HERE is available HERE and lyric video HERE The album trilogy took over a year to complete and focuses on Peppermint’s personal diary set to music tackling the subjects of flirtation, lust and love. Moment of Weakness :Letters To My Lovers is the second installment of the trilogy and highlights the point in a relationship when doubts and resentment start to set in. Especially the beginning of the end. “Broken Home” is the first single HERE which features a sultry smooth duet with Jerome Bell Bastien. Watch the live performance of “Broken Home” from Peppermint’s SOLD OUT run of shows at Joe’s Pub in NYC earlier this year HERE.

“Broken Home” is that moment that you know. It’s the beginning of the end. Contrary to the feelings expressed every morning, “maybe if we don’t go any further we can at least keep things pleasant”. says Peppermint.
