About this Event

Come join us for our Open Mic! For two hours, audiences can expect a diverse chorus of voices and a vast array of professional spoken word performers, open mic rookies, and musicians. Expect to be moved, expect a packed house, expect the unexpected, but above all come with an open mind and ear.                                                  

$5.00 + Tax and fees online. $8.00 (tax and fees included) at the door !

  HOSTED BY: Backpack Jeff

Jeffrey W. Young, known as Backpack Jeff, is a motivational speaker, spoken word artist, and conflict resolutionist who has traveled throughout the East Coast touching the lives of others with his words. A person who always looked at life as distributing lessons, Jefferey embraces each lesson that comes his way. As “the poet who always has what you need in his backpack,” Jeffrey uses his words to motivate others to never lose sight of their passion and use their imagination to execute their dreams.

Masks must also be worn properly (covering nose and mouth) at all times inside of Busboys and Poets when not actively eating or drinking.      .
