StorySlam Oakland

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

Oakland's longest running true storytelling show

The Sound Room

StorySlam Oakland is Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show, where people tell short and true stories from their lives. Or just listen and laugh. HOW THE SHOW WORKS:Anybody can put their name in the hat for a chance to tell their true, personal story on the theme.Storytellers will be mostly picked at random from the names in the hat. We usually have time for 8 to 10 open-mic storytellers. We also present one or two Featured Storytellers from our wonderful storytelling community. These are people who have won awards at various shows, or just are known to us for their great storytelling style and charisma. The Featured Storytellers tell true, personal stories, but a little longer than the open-mic'ers.January's theme is "Trying Something New."We are excited to present Fred Brill as the Featured Storyteller. Fred is an avid storyteller/performer and writer. He's won the Moth StorySlam twice, and has recently come up with his own recurring StorySlam show in San Francisco at The Marsh Theater. It's called, "Conundrum Chronicles - where stories are told, moral dilemmas unfold." He lives in Berkeley with his wife Mimi and their two rescue dogs. They have 5 adult kids and several grandchildren. <a href="http://fredbrill.com/" title="http://fredbrill.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Fredbrill.com</a>
