Dessa is phenomenal live! Not sure I can make this show, but if you can, you should.

Bostonnnn. See you soon. www.ticketmaster.com/event/010064...

This week in CHIRP podcasts, features contributor Bobby Evers speaks with Minneapolis-based singer, rapper, musician, and writer @dessadarling.bsky.social chirpradio.org/podcasts/des...

GUESS WHOSE WIFE JUST BOUGHT HIM A SYMPHONY MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL THE GIFTS FROM NOW UNTIL FOREVER SO HE CAN SEE @dessadarling.bsky.social IN NOVEMBER WITH THE PORTLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA??? YES IT IS ME YOU ARE SO CLEVER TO FIGURE THAT OUT

@dessadarling.bsky.social draws together collective wisdom and profoundly simple* language to share "how to resist like Minneapolis." *There is great power in simple language woven together by a master of the craft.

See you soon, Nueva Yol. www.axs.com/events/12891...

Every possible feeling. Still in tears.

This song speaks to me... "If you could stand your younger selves behind you then turn and walk the line "How many strangers might surprise you, too changed by time to recognize?" "Controlled Burn" Words: Dessa, @dessadarling.bsky.social Music: Jocelyn Hagen (who is not on bsky?)

Tomorrow’s event at Georgetown has been canceled due to weather. Will share details on the rain date when we’ve got em.

On air in 5 with Baltimore public radio. To listen live: www.wypr.org/people/tom-h...

I just keep thinking about Minnesota. So I made a playlist. With 30 of my favorite MN artists, including The Hold Steady, @dessadarling.bsky.social, Prince, Soul Asylum, @lazerbeak.bsky.social, @tbt-duluth.bsky.social, The Cactus Blossoms, Atmosphere + more. aarikdanielsen.com/blog/feeling...

This is Minneapolis. In -7F.

... they communicate the actual idea without negating painful history which has been actively erased and minimized and continues to be actively erased and minimized by people in power. Or, to invoke @dessadarling.bsky.social, as I so often do:

NYC. See you soon. www.axs.com/events/12891...

In times like these, DC could use some Dessa

Dessa is returning to DC! I first saw her in DC back in 2015.

Watching from afar as my hometown fends off masked armed agents—who demonstrate very little trigger discipline and racially profile residents—with *whistles*. Watching neighbors build food distribution networks. Students walk out of class in protest. Braaave. 

See you soon, Minneapolis.

I*love* that that phrase spells socks. Delights me and always will.

Good a time as any for y'all to become familiar with Minneapolis artist @dessadarling.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Wau...

Song of the Day over at The Current. (Thanks, MN) www.thecurrent.org/episode/2025...

all right, we have finally lit the @dessadarling.bsky.social candle, may it herald thoughtful, progressive, erudite, and incisive cultural developments as we enter the new year.

Three songs live at The Current: m.youtube.com/watch?v=BO1V...

Oh, I gotta say Thalia Hall is pretty spectacular. But Chicago does outdoor stuff really well too—have played Riot Fest, Lollapalooza, and the Pritzker Pavilion show you mentioned was a favorite.

The family and mental health podcast I produce, In This Family, wraps up our first season with a very moving and insightful conversation with Dessa @dessadarling.bsky.social, the acclaimed rapper, musician, poet, and author. www.nexusfamilyhealing.org/podcast/dessa

See you tonight, Madison. Doors at 7pm at Atwood Music Hall.

I am not exaggerating when I say that @dessadarling.bsky.social embodies everything I want to be as a writer and an artist. Watching her work evolve over the years, while still retaining the playful-yet-serious language and intellectual curiosity that first drew me to her, has been such a treat.

Aaand turns out we need a merch seller (with at least a leeedle experience) in Chicago tonight. Playing Thalia Hall, doors at 7. Anybody interested?

The newest @dessadarling.bsky.social hits rrreal hard on that disability/chronic pain tip, heh. We're at 12 years since my spine got taken apart and put back together. Like, genuinely, I can't pick the line that hits me hardest. Witness:

This month is looking real Midwesty. bnds.us/pym9av

Thank you thank you

There has been so much great #music lately. The incredible @dessadarling.bsky.social just released a new two-track EP "Tough Call, Camelot." Dessa's music is always a gut-punch in the best possible way. Insightful, wise, humorous, and self aware. Dessawander.com #dessa #doomtree #independentmusic

Seeing @dessadarling.bsky.social perform with the MN Orchestra is so so good

See you this weekend. www.minnesotaorchestra.org/tickets/cale...

Into the wild with you. lnk.to/ToughCallCam...

*passes tissue*

CHICAGOOOO. I’m coming over. www.ticketweb.com/event/dessa-...

Big thanks to all who’ve preordered (massively helpful to indie artists and labels). store.doomtree.net/product/dess...

Last night at the jeremy messersmith big Halloween show. I did “Spiderwebs” by the inimitable Gwen Stefani (who I mitabled).

I gotta say, @dessadarling.bsky.social does a pretty good Gwen Stefani impression

SO Many Things Are Terrible, But This Thing Rocks 5. Look, is it surprising that @dessadarling.bsky.social's new single "Camelot" will knock your socks clean off? Well, no, because that's what she does. It's her niche.

New Dessa track. Once again, the lyrics hit home... @dessadarling.bsky.social
