Advertisement
Join us and your local wordsmiths for a night of poetry, libations, and passion! The night begins with an open mic featuring local artists, singers, musicians, and writers then ends with a poetry slam.
If you've ever considered performing but needed extra encouragement, consider this it! Open mic is open to all types of stage performance. Slam is all original work, competition style.

We are reserving one spot per list for day-of sign-ups. Performers will put their name in and we will do a random draw to fill the last spots for each list!
