Black Ink & Bass - Free show @ Madam's Organ

EVENT: Black Ink & Bass
DATE & TIME: Tuesday, July 8, 7:30pm
LOCATION: Madam's Organ
COST: Free
DETAILS: I almost don't even want to tell you about this one. But I promised, so here goes.

Black Ink & Bass are an amazing duo. He plays upright bass like the devil, pulling honeyed tones out of it like a virtuoso. She joins in with the most luscious poetry that will move men and women alike. I'm typically not a huge poetry fan, but when I hear this woman speak, I actually have caught myself holding my breath.

All this is for the Women In Life poetry series.

If you miss this show, they will be back around in August.

and now that I have told you, you should stay at home. more for me :P
