InkBlot Complex presents spoken word artists at their most experimental, and beautiful, lyrically-focused music with a jazzy, hip-hop, neo-soul essence. Prepare to have your mind and soul dipped in molasses. The night is inspired by the Nuyorican Poets Café in New York City, a legendary Lower East Side venue where many African-African and Puerto Rican spoken word artists elevated the artform to ne
w heights, and where the likes of Saul Williams and Aja Monet launched their careers. Featuring Clara Rose Thornton and Vice & Verses, two international feature acts, and an open mic with the Vice & Verses house band improvising behind poets and comics. Your host is two-time Leinster Poetry Slam champion Clara Rose Thornton: Chicago-born, New-York-simmered, Dublin-dwelling. Generally last Tuesdays, bimonthly. All-new house band in 2017.
