GET TICKETS\n\n\n\n Lauded as a superb songwriter and adept multi-instrumentalist with an extr aordinary voice that can sing the birds from the trees\, her music takes r oot and draws from an era when country music\, contrary to popular belief\ , was downright sophisticated\, and filled with instrumentalists who were every bit as hip musically as their jazz counterparts. She is not necessar ily a “country” artist per se\, although if she were invited to play t he Grand Ole Opry\, she would not be out of place\, and would no doubt be very well received. Country Soul might be a better descriptor\, but her mu sic also has elements of rhythm and blues\, jazz\, country blues\, rock n ’ roll – but never manufactured to re-create a particular sound or era .\n\n“Miss Tess swings and swaggers\, rooted in a retro groove that’s equal parts blues\, mid-century rock &\; roll and Booker T-worthy R& \;B.” – Rolling Stone\n\n\n\n“Old-time warmth\, 21st-century sass. I t’s a potent recipe for that few artists successfully pull off — and M iss Tess is one of them.” – No Depression\n“A distinct old-timey fl air.” – Billboard\n\nGET TICKETS ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://kingstonhappenings.org/wp-content/upload s/2026/05/MissTess_Finals_0318-small.jpg CATEGORIES:@Featured,Music LOCATION:Tempo Arts\, 29 Wurts St. \, KINGSTON\, NY\, 12401\, United States GEO:41.918241;-73.986437 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=29 Wurts St. \, KINGSTON\, NY\, 12401\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Tempo Arts:geo:41.91 8241,-73.986437 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
