Orville Peck Covers Man About Town's Spring/Summer 2024 Issue, Wearing Dsquared2

“I’ve been really busy and I’ve been the healthiest and happiest I’ve ever felt on a personal level. I've learned that my friendships and my family are far more important to me and require a lot more of my attention than I used to give them. But work has been crazy. There's something coming soon and it’s something that I don't think anyone is really expecting."

Music’s most beloved cowboy Orville Peck has been a busy man of late. With two albums under his belt since his 2019 debut, the 36-year-old has firmly cemented his place as a cult country and gay icon, re-defining the scope of what an artist in the genre can be in the 2020s. Now there’s something new and unforeseeable on the way.

Covering our Spring/Summer 2024 issue, he sits down with pal Trixie Mattel, talking discovering what is truly important in life, why he’ll never not be starstruck by industry veterans like Ru Paul and Elton John, navigating tour fatigue, country music’s soaring popularity and the prospect of one day running out of horse references to interlace with his work.
