OPEN MIC: Soul Space Sundays ~ Unplugged & Unleashed

We are channeling trauma and triumph into rhythm and rhymes. Local artists showcasing their talent and creative voices to celebrate, heal, and ignite a community.

Whether you’re a solo artist or part of a band, come show off your musical talent in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.We welcome all forms of expression—from whispered poems to soulful melodies, hearty laughter to powerful testimonies.
