Event: New Millennium Poetry at Sweetwaters

Place: Sweetwaters Downtown, corner of W. Washington St. & Ashley

Date: Tuesday, September 21, 2010

Time: 7pm-8:30pm

This month’s featured reader:

Karrie L. Waarala tells stories. By starlight or the neon flash of road signs, in faded denim whispers or with tigers springing from her throat. They are distinctly hers, yet you’d swear they were your own. She and her poetry have zigzagged across Michigan for the past decade, representing various cities at several national and world poetry slam competitions. She regularly shares her insight and inspiration with students and educators at schools, libraries, colleges, and arts organizations all over her home state. Don’t let the weekday pinstripe suits fool you. Karrie is a woman of kaleidoscopes, circuses, and blues. And many, many well-worn boots.

Open mic will follow the featured reader.  For more information contact Jeanne Ballew at 734-994-6663 or jmballew@provide.net

Join us as we welcome YouTube sensation Kayte Grace.  Kayte describes her new albums “Written On”, as an explosion of folk, blues, pop and rock, held together by warm-voiced, sing-along-able melodies and meaningful lyrics.  Whatever you want to call it, it’s good music.  And it’s feel good music.

Kayte is also an accomplished actress having landed roles on Law and Order, SVU, and Gossip Girl.
