Slamming Nitty Gritty Style at Valentines on Tuesday, October 18

Nitty Gritty Slam #4 is this coming Tuesday, October 18 at Valentines. This time around we are upstairs at the club for the slam as the American Music Club with Dan Johnson and John Scarpulla will be meeting under the spoken word.

What will Slam Master Brammage and Mojavi have in store for us this time? Will Nester break out the sound effects again? Come on out and support the only poetry slam in town. You can’t beat the price for a night of entertainment and inspiration.

Here is the information from the Facebook event page:
