We love seeing rising, local artists get stellar touring opportunities! Singer-songwriter (and one-time Portlander) Moorea Masa will join Philly R&B crooner Son Little on his fall tour to support his brand new album, Like Neptune. Masa will open more than a dozen of the dates, giving fans of her 2021 EP, Heart In the Wild: Side A a chance to hear the tracks live. We interviewed Masa about the vulnerable and intimate record, which unpacks her "complicated relationship with her estranged mother, a Black queer woman who suffers from debilitating mental illness." She's a real treat to experience live, especially when her thoughtful harmonies are fleshed by her backing band, the Mood. by Jenni Moore
