SUMMARY:Sunday Story Seven - with storyteller JAHMAN HILL and special musical guest CHRIS CROFTON
DESCRIPTION:Our next Sunday Story Seven – Storytelling variety show is Dec 14 at True Story Brewing in Crestwood. $5 Advance / $10 Door\nHosted by Becca Rothman and Ham Bagby\n* * *.\nAct I – Open Mic storytelling. Put your name in the hat for a chance to share a personal\, true story onstage. (Open-mic hopefuls: use code STORYTELLER for a free advance ticket)\nAct II – Featured storyteller JAHMAN HILL\, an award winning poet\, playwright\, and professor.\nAct III – Stories and Songs with Nashville’s CHRIS CROFTON. \nNASHVILLE FAMOUS: Shot across the better part of the last decade\, Seth Pomeroy’s long-gestating portrait of Nashville-based comedian\, writer\, podcaster and political candidate Chris Crofton emerges from the shadows — covering its subject from ascent\, descent\, and ascent again.\nI’M YOUR MAN: With his new album\, I’m Your Man\, Nashville’s Chris Crofton has a simple goal – “I want to connect with listeners on a deep level\, in plain language\, just like the singer-songwriters of the 1970s connected with me.”\nChris has spent decades on stage. As a solo singer-songwriter\, he’s opened for alt-rock vets Deer Tick and The Handsome Family. He was an actor in New York before moving to Nashville in 2001 to form a band that performed drunken\, memorable shows around the city for years. After sobering up\, he embraced stand-up comedy and had a lengthy stint in LA.\nToday he regularly writes insightful and humorous pieces for the Nashville Scene\, an alt-weekly\, and he published a book “The Advice King Anthology” for Vanderbilt University Press in 2022. His first solo album\, Hello It’s Me (Arrowhawk) was released in 2018.\nhttps://chriscrofton.com/ \nHomepage \n \n* * *\n* WHAT IS THE STORY SEVEN? * Have 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.
