The 2014 HawaiiSlam FINALS!!
***NOTE: WE WILL HAVE TICKETS AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR, SO PLEASE COME DOWN!!***
THE BEST SLAM POETRY SHOW OF THE YEAR IS HERE!!! THE 2014 GRAND SLAM FINALS AND 11TH ANNIVERSARY SHOW (April 3rd, 2014 at Fresh Cafe)...
Get ready to witness the 12 best poets from the 2013-2014 HawaiiSlam season performing their strongest pieces in a three-round elimination match to determine the members of the 2014 HawaiiSlam team. Proceeds from this 11th anniversary fundraiser will go towards sending the team to the National Poetry Slam in Oakland, CA.
Our super special feature for this show is C.R. Avery, a genius in many genres - blues, hip-hop, spoken word and rock & roll. He is a one-man band, but one for this generation; with the rare ability to sing poetic verse while beatboxing simultaneously while pounding the piano and adding harmonica like a plot twist. He has toured throughout Canada (including almost every major folk festival), the USA, and Europe (headlining or opening for Billy Bragg, Buck 65, and Sage Francis). He is a member of the talk-rock trio T.O.F.U. along with National Poetry Slam champions Shane Koyczan and Mighty Mike McGee. Furthermore, he has garnered the attention of music peers the likes of Tom Waits (“...he’s blowin’ my mind”); blues harp trail blazer Charlie Musselwhite (“...no one plays harmonica like him… no one…”); and folk legend Utah Phillips (“...raw talent”).
