Have a hard time staying up past ten on a weeknight? So do I. Thankfully, MN Original's special on local singer/rapper Dessa (which aired on TPT late last night) is available for viewing, in it's entirety, at a more reasonable hour.

A little background: the concert in question was taped on January 23 at The Cedar in Minneapolis. It was part of The Cedar's "416 Club," which commissions local artists to compose, practice, and perform new music pieces in collaboration with other local musicians.

Dessa performed her project "Laws and Appetites" in collaboration with bassist Sean McPherson (of Heiruspecs), pianist Kahlil Queen, and a flamenco percussionist quartet.

Enjoy!
