December's Queer Open Stage will be a Queeraoke (queer karaoke) event and social on December 17th!Bring your favourite sing-along (or non-sing-along) and a friend, and we'll bring the snacks, tea, art supplies, fidgets, fairy lights, and karaoke supplies :)
We wanted to provide everyone some time to be social in a lower pressure setting than a quiet audience, so that we can all get to know each other and relax during a stressful, sometime lonely time of year. The usual Queer Open Stage will resume in January.
⌚Show up at 6:30 pm to sign up, or e-mail for early sign-up.
Light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided! Yum 🙂

~About Elbow Kiss~
Elbow Kiss is an experimental folk project by Em Boreen (they/them), based in lekwungen territory (Victoria BC Canada). Elbow Kiss humbly draws inspiration from classic country and folk, as well as modern folk, indie and pop. Em plucks guitar, harp, and heart strings, gently dredging up deep seeds of queer yearning, nostalgia, heartbreak. Love songs to ghosts. They also appear on vocals in local dream punk band, Ghost Darling.
