Yup. That’s the joint. That’s the jam.

This poetry jam; a live collaborative flowing experience of poetry-storytelling through live musical stylings and scoring of rap, r&b, soul and jazz to bring an improvised cinematic podcast.

It's an overlapping community of folks blending together to listen, explore, respond and enjoy the jam session of word, sound and power.

Hosted and led by poet David Delisca, partnering organically with a band of talented instrumentalists and vocalists intersecting with a feature lineup of poets in addition to an open mic, open jam for folks that want to poetically blend their lyrical literature with the crew’s improvisational musical scoring.

Bring your own poems or just come to listen and enjoy the vibes. Whether you're a seasoned poet or new to the scene, everyone is welcome to share their work in a supportive and inclusive environment.

This is Session #8 - Theme: Iron Sharpens Iron.

We lay bars to architect

Surface intersections of sounds

Pass in bounds the holy grid

Of the Wu-Tang cypher

Waves travels faster the deeper

The "we" are

What's rust if one brother

Sharpens another?

Our featured guests Patrick De Belen, Shelly Grace and Main Man

This night of poetic expression and creativity is happening at Toronto's top music venue, The Drake Underground on Wednesday, April 24th. Doors at 7:30. Show starts at 8pm.

A gathering. A showcase. A jam.

Where we blend edges and radius

Into the spaces in between,

Relating through rhyme, reason and rhythm

And releasing into the magnitude of the moment.
