It’s OK to not understand what a Poppy is, but for the uninitiated, know that this pop phenom (real name Moriah Pereira) was born on the internet when she teamed up with Nashville producer Corey Mixter for a viral hit called “Poppy Eats Cotton Candy.” She’s won a Streamy award (recognizing creators of the best in online video), and we’ll see if all that online attention turns into real-life fans at the midweek show where Orlando indie-pop band The Pauses opens the show.
Poppy w/Kailee Morgue/Jaira Burns/The Pauses. Wed. Feb. 13, 8 p.m. $20-$25. Orpheum, 915 E 7th Ave., Ybor City. theorpheum.com.
