Every last Thursday of the month (this month the penultimate Thursday because of the holiday) poets, musicians, and musers gather among the books and our darling piano to share their work. Hosted by local musician Peter Breen, our No Mic 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.

This month’s featured artist is Willow Waters (Genre-fluid // Folk // Jazz // Rock // Whatnot) :

As the ripples on the surface of the river mingle and transform the lines and reflections of our world, so Willow Water's music shapeshifts and defies categorization. Dancing lithely between rock and roll, country, old folk, and jazz; bolstered by rich, intricate, and often surprising arrangements and instrumentation, her music exhibits exhaustive precision and delightful variety. And centering this vast array of orchestration is Willow's singular voice - a voice that is grounding in timbre yet soaring in its revelations.
