Tessa Violet is a former vlogger who’s found IRL success as a indie-pop artist with sharp videos and onstage persona that feels a little like Olivia Newton-John became addicted to Hypebeast.
Songs like “I Like (the idea of) You” are straight-up bubblegum, but the tune’s carefree vibe is totally danceable, too.
The 29-year-old that some of us know as Meekakitty has booked an extensive U.S. tour and plays Crowbar in Ybor City on August 21, just weeks after her appearance at Lollapalooza.
Other Florida dates on the tour include Orlando (August 20 at the Social), Gainesville (August 22 at High Dive), Jacksonville (August 23 at Jack Rabbits) and Pensacola (August 24 at Vinyl Music Hall).
Tickets for the show go on sale Thursday, May 23 at 12 p.m. and will cost $15-$17. More information is available via brokenmoldentertainment.com.
