This month, Cape Town’s longest running spoken word and live music event presents a night of thought provoking poetry and soulful jazz, on Wednesday 27 October from 8:30pm at Baran’s Theatre Restaurant, Burg Street.

Verses will kick-off with poetry by Ishmael Vayej, read by Nicole Biondi. Cape Town poet Ishmael Vayej boasts a collection of some 500 poems and has published an anthology of his work entitled, ‘The Blackness of Being Black.’ Nicole Biondi, founder of Verses, will be reading a selection of his work.

The featured musician for the night is Amy Larter. Amy has been playing the piano and singing since she was a little girl and has scarcely been doing much else since. Fast-forward a few years and this East London native had moved to Cape Town to study music at UCT, where she graduated in 2007. Amy is a frequent feature on Cape Town’s gigging jazz circuit and has recently plucked up the courage to put herself and her songs on the line. Amy writes beautifully simple, soulful, jazzy and funky pop tunes, backed by two part harmonies and band, a sound that won’t fail to turn heads.

The ever-popular open mic session is already filling up and artists, who wish to participate, should arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Cover charge: R35.
