CONTEST: Win a Pair of Tickets to See Dessa at The Firebird

July 29, 2013

By Jess

This Tuesday, poet, rapper, writer, and vocalist Dessa will again perform at the Firebird, and again we’ll all be better off for it.

Following her 2005 debut EP, the Doomtree hip hop collective member now has three full–length solo albums under her belt. Dessa’s currently touring behind Parts of Speech, her arresting, highly lucid, and largely self-biographical record released this year. She spoke at length about Parts of Speech with The Rumpus; educate yourself here. The two singles off the album thus far, Call Off Your Ghost and Skeleton Key, sandwich a lyrically vicious track called Warsaw that I haven’t been able to turn off each day on the way home from work. Hearing just that song performed live would be worth the admission price to the show. But don’t take it from me:

We’ve been graced with a pair of tickets to tomorrow’s Dessa show (which also features Aby Wolf and STL’s Mathias & The Pirates!). Leave us a comment below by 12 noon on Tuesday to be entered to win. We’ll reach you by email so use a good one. Thanks!

    Dessa is an amazing talent! Her music is original and heartfelt. I love that she continues to come play shows in St. Louis. The whole doomtree collective should be more well known and I will continue to spread the word. #nokings

    I’ve been into the MN scene of music for quite sometime now and have been listening to the doomtree collective for about 5 year’s now and under P.O.S. Dessa is definitely my favorite. Seen her 4 times now twice in MN but once more would be nice haha.

    I curled her hair last time she was at the firebird… And she freestyled about me. She would want me to have them <3 plus I'm a broke ass

    Last show was fantastic. Looking forward to another round of whiskey in the bathroom while Aerin curls hair. Great to have Mathias and the Pirates opening as well!!
