SUMMARY:Sunday Story Seven - Storytelling Open Mic with MATT DAVIS and special musical guest JANET SIMPSON
DESCRIPTION:Storytelling Variety Show + Open Mic\nFeatured Storyteller Matt Davis\nStories & Songs with special guest Janet Simpson\nhosted by Becca Rothman \nAct I – Open Mic storytelling. Put your name in the hat for a chance to share a personal\, true story onstage. \nAct II – Our featured storyteller (and critically-acclaimed\, world-renowned comedian) Matt Davis will share a ten-minute prepared story. \nAct III – Stories and Songs with Janet Simpson \nJanet Simpson is a force of intuition. The Birmingham legend has shared her presence as a deep\, patient listener and her fierce power as a singer\, guitarist\, and keyboardist to bands like Wooden Wand (World War IV)\, Delicate Cutters\, Teen Getaway\, and Timber. But on Can I See You Tonight (out soon via Cornelius Chapel Records)\, Simpson’s unmatched prescience is channeled toward her own visions\, expansive yet spellbindingly intimate. The follow-up to her stunning solo debut Safe Distance (2021)\, it’s a wryly observant alt-country tapestry with frayed edges that gesture toward Simpson’s history in DIY and punk scenes. Her talent as a bandleader shines even brighter on this second album as she taps freely into that restless collaborative spirit\, weaving worn-in\, effortless folk rock arrangements with her band. The songs on Can I See You Tonight are haunting stills in time\, shot through with longing – the lyrics haiku-precise\, the band dialed in to one another\, and to Simpson\, her deep well of a voice brimming over. \n* * * * * \nMore details:\nHave you always wanted to tell a story onstage? Or do you prefer to listen while others share? Either way\, join us at the monthly storytelling variety show the Sunday Story Seven. The open mic is open to new and seasoned storytellers – just put your name in the hat for a chance to tell a 5-minute true tale. No notes\, no theme – just you and the mic! Never tried a storytelling open mic before? Love hearing true\, personal stories? Love live music? Come see what it’s all about.
