*** BARDS & BREWS IS WEDNESDAY MAY 8TH ***featuring New Orleans slam poet and hip hop artist JONATHAN BROWN
Jonathan Brown is a hip-hop / slam poet, musician, and digital creator based out of New Orleans, LA. A former high school teacher, Jonathan hit the road in 2015*** as a performer, offering over 150 shows per year for four and a half years. His albums include Roses on a Good Day (2015); Aggressively Vulnerable (2018); and Shadows of Raindrops (2020). His new multi-media music project, You Are The Truth. Let Your Eyes Adjust was released in the spring of 2023 on a creamsicle swirl orange and yellow vinyl.
Jonathan holds a BA from the College of Charleston; an MA from the New College of California; and an MFA from The University of New Orleans. His work has been published in The Worcester Review, The Nashville Review, and National Public Radio (NPR).
Jonathan Brown exists. He is a person in a town much like other people in other towns. It’s not that he’s not special; he is. But we all are. That’s the thing. We all have something to share, to add, to contribute. We all have the capacity to ease the world’s suffering in some way.
He’s basically the softest rapper you’ve ever heard, softer than cinnamon roll. He enjoys wearing tracksuits even if he never leaves the house that day, especially if he never leaves the house that day because that gives the tracksuit itself the opportunity to really wear him. He then becomes one with the tracksuit.

As always, Bards & Brews is free to attend and there will be an early open mic set before the feature as well as a late night set after the feature. Come early or come late, just COME and bring your notebooks, your polished pieces AND your ill-conceived half-drunk scribbles, the shit you've been reading for 20 years already, the shit you just wrote in the car on the way to the venue, we want it ALL, y'all!
