Pop singer-songwriter Empress Of brings her ‘For Your Consideration’ tour to the Rickshaw this Fall, with guest opener Casey MQ.

Empress Of

Under the name Empress Of, Honduran-American songwriter, musician and producer Lorely Rodriguez creates introspective, self-empowering pop music centered around her impressive, acrobatic vocals. For Your Consideration, a follow-up to 2020’s I’m Your Empress Of and 2022’s Save Me EP, is a bi-lingual album that embraces camp and fantasy playing with the idea of Hollywood. The songs, which veer between English and Spanish, reflect on the transactional nature of love and sex, which is mirrored by the ephemeral sense of existence in the entertainment industry. Empress Of has collaborated with Top 40 pop artists and cultural icons such as Khalid, Blood Orange, Lewis OfMan, DJ legend Boyz Noise, ShyGirl and Salute. She’s toured with the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen, Lizzo, Maggie Rogers, Rina Sawayama and wowed audiences at festivals such as Outside Lands and Corona Capital. Her “For Your Consideration” headline tour begins in September of 2024.

Casey MQ

Casey MQ is known for his 2020 breakthrough album babycasey, which gave voice to songs seen through the lens of childhood, various film score work, and collaborations with artists such as Oklou, Eartheater, and Shygirl. His gifts as a producer and songwriter are rooted in textural world-building and the excavation of personal truth. Casey also co-founded Club Quarantine, a queer virtual club that has hosted artists such as Charli XCX, Lady Gaga, Tinashe, Pabllo Vittar and others.
