ASHLEY-ANNA ABOREDEN SUN 8/20 ▼ FORT LAUDERDALE FEEL SOMETHING Jacob Dodge Lawson — better known as Jvke — had the kind of rise in fame most artists could only dream of. In 2020, amid the lock- down, he started uploading videos to TikTok.

Two years later, he released his debut al- bum, This Is What ____ Feels Like (Vol. 1–4), on AWAL, garnering himself a fanbase be- yond the internet. On Sunday, Jvke stops at Revolution Live as part of his What Tour Feels Like Tour. 7 p.m. Sunday, at Revolution Live, 100 SW Third Ave., Fort Lauderdale; 954- 449-1025; jointherevolution.net.
