It’s Bunbury weekend! If you’ve been following my blog for a few years, then you probably remember me talking about Bunbury Music Festival, which takes place in Cincinnati, OH every summer. I was able to get media passes this year and it’s been a lot of fun. You’ll be seeing a lot of Bunbury posts this month for sure! Tomorrow, Sunday, June 2, is the final day and it should be a good one. I’ll be sharing more on the festival, the artists, the food, etc. in the coming days/weeks. For now, I thought I’d share a bit about the first artist I saw on Friday, May 31.
Bunbury Music Festival 2019: She's Poppy #bunbury2019 Click To TweetShe’s Poppy
One of the things that I like about Bunbury is that it sometimes introduces me to new music, especially when I check out the artists beforehand. That was the case with Poppy, who I’d never heard of before. I listened to snippets of her music beforehand, but it was really her live act where I got to hear more of her stuff. It’s…different. Poppy is very eccentric/quirky/whatever you want to call it. I did enjoy some of her songs, and I think the “character” of Poppy is definitely unique and a bit fun (the singer’s real name is Moriah Rose Pereira).
I have to say though, that when she’d talk in between songs, it got a bit strange. I’m assuming she’s putting on a voice, because it’s a bit little kid/doll-like. I guess it’s all part of the act, and that’s cool, but it wasn’t really my thing. She has a lot of songs that deal with the internet, digital life, and that was kind of cool. I suppose this makes sense since her debut studio album is called Poppy.Computer.
I really did enjoy some of her songs, but she feels more like a performance artist – someone who does everything in character – and that’s not necessarily my favorite. However, she was a really fun way to start the Bunbury Music Festival.
Looks like a great festival! Poppy does sound kinda quirky. 🙂
Hope you hear lots of amazing music!
Sounds like an interesting performance!
I like finding out about new artists too, and it sounds like Poppy kept your interest!(lol) Hugs…RO
I always love seeing these, so much fun! Glad you are having a great time!
Sounds like fun!
I need music festival in my life! Looks like so much fun! Cant wait to hear more about it!!
Despite the crowds, this sounds like a fun event. It’s cool to discover new bands and musical influence.
Oh have fun. It does sound like a good start even if she isn’t a fave.
I remember you talking about this festival before. Not sure Poppy would have been my cup of tea (LOL) but I look forward to hearing more about your experience!
I haven’t heard of her. I have to figure out the music scene here. There’s nothing where I live but we’re about 1/2 hour 45 minutes from Portland and there are so many venues I’m not sure where to start lol
I’m also spoiled. We had seats in FL so I never had to go early and wait in line.

I’m not a fan of the baby voice, even in my kids. But her guitar is very cool!
Outdoor music festivals are so fun! There’s one here we used to go to in this sculpture garden that was always amazing. I used to find a lot of new music that way too. I’m glad you found someone new you enjoy!
I’m not a fan of Poppy but I’ve only seen her online, not live, so maybe that’s totally different. She comes off kind of strange and like you, it’s just not my thing.
Interesting! I’m always intrigued by performers like this, but I’m also not a huge fan of the front they put on.
I haven’t been to a music festival in ages but it really is such a great way to get introduced to new to you music. I’m intrigued by Poppy but the weird voice would probably be off-putting for me. I’m old fashioned in that I like my musicians to like sing ?even still this sounds like a great festie and hope you’re having a blast!
It’s been so long since I last did a music festival. This one sounds like a lot of fun and I’ve actually heard a few Poppy songs. Definitely an interesting voice!
Glad you had such a fun time!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I’m not sure Poppy would have been my cup of tea either, but it’s always fun to check out new artists anyway. Look forward to reading more of your posts from the festival.
Poppy’s kinda dreamy in her own way. That guitar is the most. That pantsuit is a close second!
That sounds like such a fun festival! My friend actually helped produce some of Poppy’s stuff, so that’s funny that you got to see her live. Can’t wait to hear more about the festival!
I live in Cincinnati and I’ve never been to Bubury! How crazy is that! LOL Glad you found a new artist!
