StorySlam Oakland & Pretty Good Stories

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.

Bay Area Jazz & Arts at The Sound Room

Oakland's longest-running true storytelling show

The Sound Room

This is a special StorySlam Oakland, hosted by our friends Beau and Tom at Pretty Good Stories (<a href="http://prettygoodstories.org/" title="http://prettygoodstories.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">prettygoodstories.org</a>). It’s a mash-up of 2 storytelling formats: the open-mic Storyslam Oakland one we know and love intertwined with 3 longer-form stories.There will be 5 open mic spots, randomly picked. And there will be stories from Beau, Tom and special guests. There will be prizes. Don Doblados will be playing electric guitar. Also, beer and delicious food. Come out. Put your name in the hat to tell a story if you’re inspired. The theme is: themeless. That’s right, tell a story on any subject of your choosing. We’ll see if we can find themes in the stories as the night goes on. The show features these special guests:<ul><li>Keith Lowell Jensen, host of In a Nutshell storytelling show in Sacramento, and youtube star of <a href="https://sptr.eocampaign1.com/f/a/UlrKpJq8Xzht1Bu8f44SHw~~/AAAHURA~/e7bYzJIlmENvxbUbNbJ7J5EGAbFnG0Dl6nmTbOvvB4yXH6rEnsZoABA4ZMyoANyAqMraZtO2YcEPI3dHOv94j49OU1VRPzQ4t0kgJnvaPhWMNdSKjYuDHQmHZHwDgBVxZ-V63bT5gj6855ViO1oBxLlAciQncPLoYHZ7RD0_yjnrrRq2vto3WwjZIkwqPOVw8Ko95DrsLE4Sgj-u8aHMZA~~" title="https://sptr.eocampaign1.com/f/a/UlrKpJq8Xzht1Bu8f44SHw~~/AAAHURA~/e7bYzJIlmENvxbUbNbJ7J5EGAbFnG0Dl6nmTbOvvB4yXH6rEnsZoABA4ZMyoANyAqMraZtO2YcEPI3dHOv94j49OU1VRPzQ4t0kgJnvaPhWMNdSKjYuDHQmHZHwDgBVxZ-V63bT5gj6855ViO1oBxLlAciQncPLoYHZ7RD0_yjnrrRq2vto3WwjZIkwqPOVw8Ko95DrsLE4Sgj-u8aHMZA~~" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">What I Was Arrested For</a></li><li>Kari Kiernan, recently featured at the big Naked Truth show in Mill Valley</li><li>Don Doblados of <a href="https://sptr.eocampaign1.com/f/a/WCCJdfPyUj-bJYIyI-3kFw~~/AAAHURA~/FFm0ymHoh7JRSEq5jYGAYd0eXFzCuaSnxRQg_WXyOIzmFOK0MnkuC8DsRecbicDMqzWtFy2D8FzrWZkxkff8RYxn_PGiKkputtkEWkNvBexVzk1H4XMBx-fOEAS6ZcOvSsRcZc_L_Hp5J5DA2mqEv1TgX00XNiHrk8UNuLo6Jek~" title="https://sptr.eocampaign1.com/f/a/WCCJdfPyUj-bJYIyI-3kFw~~/AAAHURA~/FFm0ymHoh7JRSEq5jYGAYd0eXFzCuaSnxRQg_WXyOIzmFOK0MnkuC8DsRecbicDMqzWtFy2D8FzrWZkxkff8RYxn_PGiKkputtkEWkNvBexVzk1H4XMBx-fOEAS6ZcOvSsRcZc_L_Hp5J5DA2mqEv1TgX00XNiHrk8UNuLo6Jek~" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">E.S.C.</a> on electric guitar</li></ul>
