The next stop on The Current Road Trip series will be April 2nd, 2011 in Rochester, MN with Dessa and Mark Wheat at the Rochester Art Center.


For those unfamiliar with The Current Road Trip, it's an effort to bring the best and brightest of the Twin Cities' musical acts to greater Minnesota. We started in October 2010 with Jeremy Messersmith in Duluth; and in November, we took Roma di Luna to Mankato.

About Dessa

Dessa introduced a unique sensibility to underground hip-hop: literary, bitter-sweet, and wry. She alternated between a clever, droll persona as an emcee and her earnest, unaffected delivery as a singer with a low, clear alto voice. Her a cappella arrangements delicate and expressive, full of sad, old world harmonies. A Badly Broken Code, her solo full-length record was released in January 2010 to an eagerly waiting number of listeners and music-writers alike. It earned 4 stars from Urb Magazine, a mention in Spin, and rave reviews from publications across the country.


About the Venue
