Minneapolis rapper, singer, and writer Dessa is performing with the Minnesota Orchestra this weekend and the Friday show will be broadcast on YouTube from Orchestra Hall. I am super fangirl excited. I'm going Friday and Saturday nights.

I've seen this show a few times now and it's excellent.

@tripwire_1001 Oh cool! She puts on a great show! Have fun! I’m Fringing tonight and hitting a play tomorrow.
@tripwire_1001 I’m sitting outside orchestra hall, enjoying the pre-show concert and wondering if anyone will come get my extra #dessa ticket. It’s free.
@coffee4danz oh shoot is Lady Midnight on already??? I didn’t see a time and so I was planning on getting there by like 7.
@tripwire_1001 it was the sound check short set and she’ll be back on stage later for a full set.
@coffee4danz cool. I’ll try to hurry and get over there. Trying to get some cello practice in before I leave. Maybe we can connect.
@tripwire_1001 you will know me by my Chucks and my DinoMite shirt :) need a ticket for the Dessa show?
@coffee4danz cool. I’m front and center tonight so I can thoroughly fangirl both Dessa and Sarah Hicks. I’ve not thought ahead enough about my outfit to give you a description yet. Will look for the Chucks.
@tripwire_1001 sweet! This show is a dream come true for me. I drove over 8 hours to experience it.
@coffee4danz Ooohh nice! It’s gonna be great. I was there last night. Hoping tonight is the rowdy crowd. 🤘
@tripwire_1001 I’m so glad this is the performance I get to experience. Let the f-bombs fly!! Wheee!
@coffee4danz Yeah this is much more fun. Last night was also amazing but tonight is better. Also apparently I read my ticket wrong and am up in the balcony. So I get to see the percussion and such tonight which is cool.
@tripwire_1001 was it the same set as the night before? I can’t imagine self-censored versions of some of her songs. Also, the woman who got my spare ticket was essentially a 70 yr old version of myself and that was an amazing experience, too. Awesome to see elderly folk rock out to #dessa.
@coffee4danz Slightly different. Not sure if the order was different but there was no encore. So Fire Drills was in the main set. Can’t remember if it was earlier in order or if they just didn’t have an encore break. And there might have been one more spoken section on Sat. Not 100% sure.
@coffee4danz RE: clean version… for example the chest was taped down during Fire Drills. Also the vigilance phrase was different don’t remember how it was changed exactly.
