Every last Thursday of the month poets, musicians, and musers gather among the books and our darling piano to share their work. Hosted by local musician Peter Breen, our Open Mic is a space to experiment with new work, to unearth old work, or practice in front of a humble crowd. All are welcome to share or just to listen. Slots are 10 minutes each; sign ups start at 6:30.

Minneapolis singer-songwriter Andrea Sorum sings uplifting piano-driven anthems alongside folk guitar-strumming originals inspired by her experiences and hopes as a single mom, musician and activist. Her warm vocals, carefully crafted lyrics and easy-going stage presence invite the listener to relax and enjoy the company of a friend. Her 2016 release, “American Dreams”s available at andreasorum.bandcamp.com.
