The Dirty Gerund Poetry ft: Joe Sweeney

Come on down to read your work, tell your jokes, bear your soul, all while accompanied by the coolest backing band since the invention of Ray-Bans. Open mic list is up at 8 pm, show to kick off ~9; slots for first and second half, alongside a waitlist. Don't see room on the list? Talk to Nark, and they'll see what they can do. Slots are 1-2 poems, 1 song, or approximately 6 minutes. Let the houseband know if you need their support!

Most mid-life crises involve motorcycles or toupees. Joe Sweeney’s is all about ukulele. At the tender age of 45, Joe started writing songs about his anxieties, performing them on his uke. Resulting in his own brand of bittersweet goofball pop that has been just weird enough to gain traction in his home state of Maine. His second LP, “Party of One,” drops 8/7. His midlife crisis is ongoing.
