What is The Great Night of Soul Poetry? What happens there?
Dale: The Great Night of Soul Poetry is a unique spoken word event which combines elements of theatre, improvised music, and poetry. Poems are presented by members of a wildly talented group of performers. Each performance is backed up by differing combinations of four awesome musicians who play a wide range of western and eastern instruments. The poems are powerful, deep, beautiful, accessible, intelligent, and often funny. All the poems are presented from memory, which creates an intimacy between the presenter and the audience. There is no book or piece of paper to get between them.
