Voices of San Ramon Open Mic Series

This is a series of theme led acoustic music and poetry facilitated by San Ramon Poet Laureate, Jenyth Jo. Designed by teens under the guidance of Jenyth Jo, storytellers ages 14 and up through the young adult have found a space to use their voice and explore our world’s oldest medium of language while expanding their craft and audience. Experience not necessary, but a sincere interest in having fun while approaching challenging ideas is expected. We will be creating a safe, inclusive space for all who attend. While attendance is free and open, if you wish to perform, please register at www.sanramonrecguide.com by a keyword search of the theme of interest or view the activities by clicking the Links below.

January 25 - Starting Fresh

March 28 - Conflict and Growth (Viewable online January 19)

April 25 - Peace and Acceptance (Viewable online January 19)
