05.05.10 DC Haps: Wednesday Night Verses feat. Jazz the Poet (That’s Me!)

May 2.10 — house of jaz, spoken word

Reminisce…
After graduating from JMU, I found myself living on the out-skirts of Richmond, VA missing the familiar ritual of attending/hosting an open mic night. That was until two dear friends of mine introduced me to the DOPENESS that is a little restaurant called Tropical Soul. Every Tuesday night, they’d host an event called Tuesday Night Verses. It immediately felt like home. Fresh art, a live band, food that had a West Indian/Southern Comfort feel, and a warm hostess who tied it all together. When I relocated to the DMV, I was excited for the new chapter in my life, but sad I would miss out on something that I loved so much.

Fast Forward
Like a long-lost love, I was reunited with the spirit of Verses. They started coming to D.C. for the Wednesday night spot. I’ve been given the opportunity to share my words in the form of the poetry feature this Wedesday, May 5th. If you’d like to hear some organic flowing, and little tinging (talk + singing) and some honesty, I invite you to come check me out! Did I mention this will be my FIRST gig?! Check the flyer for details.
