Ona Kirei received a grant from St. Petersburg’s Palladium Theater and immediately knew that whatever music she created using the money would need to be heard by as many people as possible.

For Full New Luna, Kirei, who now flies under the Ona K moniker, tapped 19 of Tampa Bay’s best musicians, to help the music come to life.

A crowdfunding campaign has been started to help her climb out of debt (it’s expensive to pay people what they deserve), and the Full New Luna pre-release tour rolls on this weekend when she brings some of them to Tampa’s best new little music venue for an intimate show.

Tickets to see Oka K play The Far Forest in Tampa on Sunday, Sept. 17 are still available and start at $15.
