Love Jonez Poetry and Music Showcase Featuring Live Performances

Some conversations can only be spoken in poetry...

Love JoneZ is an intimate, live poetry and music experience inspired by the 1997 classic film Love Jones a night rooted in love, neo-soul, romance, sensuality, and storytelling.

This is a space for lovers, friends, creatives, and community to gather whether you arrive hand-in-hand with your partner or arm in arm with your friends. Love JoneZ is not just about romantic love, but love in all its forms: passion, longing, memory, desire, vulnerability, and truth.

The evening blends:

• Live jazz & neo-soul band sets
• Featured poets and vocalists
• An open mic celebrating community voices
• A curated, candle-lit atmosphere
• Full dinner and dessert by She Imagined Sweets

As the film reminds us:

“Love is a life force. It’s what keeps us alive.”
— Darius Lovehall, Love Jones
