Live: Expressions Open Mic

LIVE: EXPRESSIONS OPEN MIC Recorded at the February Expressions [https://www.facebook.com/koiexpressions] spoken word open mic at Cafe Koi, with feature performer Sholley Powell. This sounds like a time capsule from another era, all these people together in a space sharing art and having fun. It might be just what we need right now. So pour yourself a drink or a cup of tea, sit back, and imagine you're not in a pandemic lockdown, but out for a night of poetry. Expressions is having a Zoom edition May 11 [https://www.facebook.com/events/2584209595160320]!
