About this show

Mei Semones plays The Texas Theatre, a 600-capacity theater in Oak Cliff, on Thursday, April 15. The show starts at 7 PM. All ages. This one could sell out: big draw for a room this size (186k listeners, 600 capacity). Mei Semones also has 12 other dates on Go See Shows, in Cambridge, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York.

At 26, the Brooklyn-based Japanese American guitarist and singer-songwriter — already named an Artist to Watch by The New York Times and Stereogum, and Artist You Need to Know by Rolling Stone and The FADER — has developed a sound that brings together jazz, bossa nova, samba and grungy math rock without treating any of them as separate worlds. Her bilingual songwriting works in much the same way. Few songwriters weave between languages as naturally as Semones does, slipping between English and Japanese within the same song — sometimes the same line — and letting both languages become part of the music itself. As she puts it, writing in both languages "felt more true to myself."
