Making Music featuring: Dessa (Doomtree)

Theme: Making Music

Dessa Darling is truly a Renaissance woman. She’s a spoken word poet, an emcee for local rap family Doomtree, and a Jerome Grant recipient who also moonlights as a technical writer by day. Her solo release “False Hopes”, earned her a spot on the Star Tribune’s “Top Ten Local Releases” in 2005. David Brusie of Rift Magazine aptly described Dessa’s voice as “equal parts Ani Difranco and Mos Def”. If we have one question to ask at Making Music, ours would be “What can’t this woman do, and do exceedingly well?”
This spring, the Whole Music Club presents the fifth season of Making Music, a series that features long-format discussions with talented musicians about their art. Local musician JG Everest (Lateduster, Vicious Vicious) hosts the show, which includes interviews, live demonstrations, videos, exclusive and unreleased tracks, prizes, and Q+A from the audience. These events are free, all-ages, open to the public, and start at 8pm.
