Out Loud HSV monthly open mic and features creates a space for literary arts and spoken word to grow! Come early to sign up for the open mic, where you will have 5 minutes to share a creative writing piece. Then stick around this months featured poet - TC! TC has won several of our Out Loud Poetry Slam Sundays and we are grateful to have her grace this event with a 30 minute feature.

About the poet: "Traniesa (TRA-KNEE-SA) TC Caldwell from Opp, AL. Came from farmers textile workers and went to church a lot. Sarcastic shady asshole...learned that from church and my grandmother. Passing those traits down to my niece. I’ve been doing performance poetry for 12 years. Slam for five years. I am the founder of CoffeeHouse Poets. Engaged to my best friend and I am just fucking awesome."

Out Loud is dedicated to fostering new voices and encouraging participation, so even if you have never been to an open mic before, please come on down and hear some new interesting voices and share! Doors at 6:00, show begins art 6:30.
