Description:

The Spoken word is a literary and performance art in which lyrics, poetry, sketches, or stories are spoken instead of sung. This time we take the words and SPEAK them to music. The official music of DC – GoGo!

Do you have what it takes to perform your Spoken Word piece “In The Pocket”?  Come try out your skills at this one-of-a-kind open mic!   Hosted tonight by Brandon Douglas

The audience will be invited to perform a spoken word piece to one of these unique GoGo beats created by The Experience Band & Show:

Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all come with an open mind and ear.
