Join us Sunday, June 21st at 6 pm for our Sessions open mic hosted by Nerd the Poet (@nerdthepoet) with featured artist Glo Shines (@glo_shines).

Daughter of many home including Brooklyn, NY, Danville, VA and Hampton Roads, VA, Glo Shines’ poetry and hosting style is a proud hybrid of hip-hop, poetry and humor. Featured nationally at several notable venues such as The Kennedy Center, Harrison Opera House, and the Funny Bone. You can catch her monthly as the host at Busboys & Poets on 14th & V, every 4th Tuesday. In 2017, Glo Shines released her 2nd studio album “What the Water Gave” along with two music videos. In 2022, she released her 3rd album “Mosaic Multiverse” with an accompanying book of poetry, affirmations and mantras called Multiverse Mosaic.

If you have yet to join us for our monthly in-house open mic, Sessions is a flow session for poets, instrumentalists, vocalists, MCs, and anyone willing to share their art. It’s a space where artists are free to create and not required to be as formal as they are in other venues. Sessions is a space where artists are encouraged to expand the boundaries of their expression, connect with other artists, and play, sing, rap, or dance as if no one is watching. Participants have the choice of performing alongside DJ Freequincy or a live band.

Advance tickets can be purchased below for guarantee admission or at the door.
