"I've done gigs where I've performed a song here or there, but I've never done a solo show," she said of her upcoming appearance. "So this is like my own solo show within the format of Seth's concert series, which is basically a free for all!"

What can fans expect from the setlist? "There might be a couple of originals that are off my album. And I'm going to be doing a lot of mashups and songs from all of the shows I've done in my past... but along with some new songs! I asked all of my fans on Instagram a couple of weeks ago what songs they wanted to hear me sing, and they actually came up with some really good ones!"
