Late on a Thursday night, rising indie star Jasmine.4.t paid her New York fans a visit at Baby’s All Right as part of her Tranarchy World Tour. Jasmine’s debut album You Are the Morning is one of my favorites of 2025 so far, so when I saw that LOUD WOMEN Fest NYC alumni Eevie Echoes & the Locations would be opening for her in Brooklyn, I think I actually yelped.
Given Jasmine’s status as the newest signee of Phoebe Bridgers’ record label Saddest Factory Records, one might expect the crowd at such a show to be an odd clash of hardcore punks and sheepish Pharbs. In reality, though, the evening was one of heightened emotion, unity, and unwavering solidarity from start to finish as these two incredible transfemme-led acts poured their hearts and souls into putting on an absolutely stellar show.
Eevie Echoes & the Locations
With a red keffiyeh tied proudly around her mic stand and all-black outfit accentuating her light pink Reverend guitar, Evelyn Garcia, A.K.A. Eevie Echoes, immediately commanded the room. Her onstage presence punctuated the lyrical content of her songs – many of which are political rallying cries filled with anger and passion – as she whipped her hair around and kicked her booted feet towards the excited audience.
“Are we feeling extra queer?!” she asked the crowd in between songs. (Unsurprisingly, the response was a resounding and enthusiastic “YES!”)
This show was a special one for Eevie; it was her return to performing live after having gender-affirming bottom surgery over the summer. “I’m not gonna do the jump this time,” she joked near the end of her set, referring to the impressive choreography she typically employs during the outro of her song ‘Womanly’. And yet, of course, when the time came, she did. After ditching her instrument to air-guitar alongside her lead guitarist instead (and to quickly, tastefully flash the audience), she held her keffiyeh high in the air and led the crowd in a passionate chant: “Free, Free Palestine!”
Jasmine.4.t
Donning her signature blue-and-pink split dye hair and a long-sleeved Menstrual Cramps t-shirt, Jasmine.4.t was a girl after LOUD WOMEN’s own heart that night. Though she started out a bit timid when speaking in between songs – this was only the fourth date of her first-ever solo headline tour – she is an electrifying performer. Her voice is near pitch-perfect when she sings live, and she did not hold back from showing off her guitar skills for one second (all while masterfully using her long, painted nails as picks).
None of Jasmine’s songs during her set were particularly long, but boy, did they pack a punch. One of Jasmine’s biggest assets as an artist is her mastery of dynamics. Songs that begin as soft, organic arrangements gradually build to full-on, mosh-worthy rock ballads before you even notice; you’re too busy hanging onto her every word. During her performance of ‘I Can’t Believe I Did This Without You’ and ‘Elephant’, her guitar solos definitely approached shredding territory.
Jasmine’s music bursts at the seams with love – for her friends, for her partners, and for her community. She seemed to fight back tears as she introduced ‘Find Ur Ppl’, a new song dedicated to her dear friend Yulia Trot, who is currently in prison for her acts of protest against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. “I want to thank you all for your solidarity,” she said earnestly to the crowd during a quiet moment. “It’s a scary time to be in this country, […] and it means so much to be in a room full of lovely people who care.”
Jasmine’s softer moments sometimes feel like being square in the chest. There was not a dry eye in the house during her encore as she sang ‘Woman’, a triumphant declaration of her identity as a trans woman and, as she herself described it, “a fuck-you to all the people in power trying to kill trans people.” And what a beautiful fuck-you it was. Her guitar screeched as if from a raw and ragged throat, while her own gentle head voice floated around the room, its beauty untouched – if not fortified – by the cacophony.
Jasmine, too, is something beautiful, made anew through the pain and hardship she has endured – as a trans woman, as a queer woman, as a woman who has survived many forms of personal upheaval. That such an arduous journey somehow led her all the way here, all but three feet away from me on this little stage in Brooklyn, is a blessing that I don’t take for granted.
Jasmine is still in the midst of her Tranarchy World Tour. Remaining dates below:
