Groove Verse is BACK, bringing you the best of the Spoken Word scene backed by the best of the improvised jazz scene.
Join us for the relaunch of Groove Verse, an electrifying evening where pre-rehearsed spoken word performances meet the spontaneous brilliance of improvised jazz. Set in the intimate and bohemian atmosphere of the Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club, this event promises never-to-be-repeated moments of musical mayhem and lyrical wizardry.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an open mic night, we have a pre-selected line up of performers.
What to Expect:
- Unrehearsed Musical Collaboration: Experience the magic as top-tier jazz musicians spontaneously create soundscapes that perfectly complement each spoken word performance. Every note is crafted live, making each moment unique.
- Exciting Competition: Four guest poets will perform their pre-rehearsed pieces, competing for your votes. The audience’s favorite will earn a headline spot in the next Groove Verse show.
- Headline Act: The night will end a 20 minute set from the previous audience favourite!
- World-Class Musicians: Our band comprises musicians who have graced stages with icons like Celeste, Arlo Parks, and Rex Orange County. Their improvised soundscapes will elevate the spoken word performances to new heights.
