by: Susan Spit-Fire - MetroEast NEWS
by: Susan Spit-Fire - MetroEast NEWS
Hello people!! I hope your spring is going well! Looking for a new show to check out? Come to “Artistically Speaking!” (produced/hosted by Spit-Fire) on Wed., April 4th at Belleville’s gorgeous Seven Restaurant and Lounge, (7 S. High St., Belleville, IL, 62220). Seven, a haven for arts and entertainment, is located in the heart of historic downtown Belleville, IL. To learn more, please call (618) 277-6700 or visit their website at www.sevenrestaurantandlounge.
There’s no cover charge for this event!! The doors open at 8:00 and the show, which also features an Open Mic, will begin at 9:00. Experience the thrill of live performance-based art with extraordinary musicians, poets, comedians, and more in a second floor gallery filled with exquisite local artwork. The dedicated staff even keeps the kitchen open late so you can enjoy mouth-watering appetizers ($2.00 Off All Appetizers) and beverages. We have a stellar show planned for next Wed., April 4th! Our Special Guests include poet and spoken word artist Jay “Love” Watford (St. Louis, MO), classical swing band Antique Swing (Alton, IL), poet and producer Kristin Sharp (St. Louis, MO), and vocalist and songwriter Tabitha Yancey (Belleville, IL). (See bios and attached flier below). It’s going to be another great night!! Hope to see you there!
Jay Love
Gifted young poet, writer, and spoken word artist Jay “Love” Watford has been writing for about five years. Recently he took to the stage for the first time, debuting his gripping brand of spoken word at Mocha Latte’s hit show “Got Lyrics?” in St. Louis. He has also graced the stages of Legacy Books & Café, The Inspot, Broadway Night Club, The Focal Point, and Forest Park Community College. Passionate about love, poetry, and sports as well, this twenty-three year old former college athlete originally planned on becoming a sports writer.
Greatly influenced by local spoken word artists like Louis Conphliction, Kristy “Lightning” McKeown, and Evan “Copasetic Soul” Hillard, Watford studies the artists he hears, using what he learns to carefully hone his art to a fever pitch of perfection. Already taking the poetry world by storm, Jay Love recently attended the “Saint Louis Poetry Slam!” for the first time, where he took first place with his electric spoken word performances.
Antique Swing
Based in Alton, IL, Antique Swing is composed of J. Thomas Crammond, Jim Drennan, and Terry Muskopf. The band specializes in classic Swing music, and hearing them live is always a highly enjoyable experience. Mr. Crammond, known as Tom, is an expert guitar player, and Jim backs him up perfectly on rhythm guitar, with newest member Terry jamming on Bass. Peoria native Crammond is a distinguished musician, songwriter, and educator who has been performing professionally for well over forty years. Tom attended Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville, where he obtained a degree in Music (Jazz Performance – Guitar). After graduating, he went on to teach Music, Music Theory, and Guitar to college and grad school students.
Terry Muskopf also has over forty years of playing and teaching experience and has been in numerous rock and country bands since the 1970's. Jim Drennan began playing guitar in 1981 with Tom as his instructor and has been teaching and playing ever since. In 1988, he was the recipient of a performance scholarship from Lewis and Clark Community college. In 2010, Jim approached Tom about creating a Jazz guitar duo that would recreate a sound reminiscent of the 1930's and 1940's. Antique Swing applies the vintage sound of musicians like gypsy Jazz legend Django Reinhardt to many Jazz, Bossa Nova, and Blues tunes of the 30's and 40's. Equipped with a traditional sound and a timeless collection of songs, Antique Swing plays music that will take you back to a time when music was simple and elegant.
Kristin Sharp
Kristin M. Sharp is an accomplished poet, emcee, producer, event organizer, and activist from St. Louis, Mo. She was the mind behind the iconic show “Voices From The Underground” at The Atomic Cowboy (Hosted by Sean Arnold), and is the Producer of “Poems, Prose, and Pint’s”, which goes down the first Tuesday of the month at Dressel’s Public House (owned by long-time friend and mentor Welsh Poet Jon Dressel). Last fall Sharp was also the main organizer for “100 Thousand Poets for Change – Joining the Global Voice” at the Regional Arts Commission.
Kristin’s literary body of work is poignant, fiery, and intellectual, and she is never afraid to take a stand on the important issues in life that affect us all. She is active in the social and artistic communities and is always seeking to bring people together. Her work has been published in “Bad Shoe” (Vol. 1) and the VSA Arts of Missouri Anthology “Where We Can Read The Wind”. Kristin has performed at The Cigar Inn, Dressel’s, The Atomic Cowboy, and many other regional venues. She currently resides in the Central West End with her husband Robert.
Tabitha Yancey
Belleville native Tabitha Yancey is an immensely talented new R&B/Neosoul singer and songwriter. Seeing her perform live is truly a great privilege; her sultry and powerful voice and songwriting prowess are amazing. After attending Belleville East High School and graduating from the University of Missouri – St. Louis with a degree in Business Administration-Finance, Yancey went to work for Scottrade. In her spare time this outgoing artist enjoys watching football, basketball, and baseball, and also loves reading and working out. Her musical influences include Gospel, Jazz, Neosoul, and Old School R&B.

(BELLEVILLE)
“Open Mic Night @ The Inn” on Thursday, Feb. 9th The Cigar INN hosted another incredible evening of the best live entertainment this side of the river!
In addition to our annual Valentine’s Day Party (hot drink specials and all the chocolate aphrodisiacs you can eat!), we will be having our very first CD Release Party!! Local R&B sensation Chrissy Renick has released her first EP – “A Thousand Shades” (currently available on ITunes) and will be sharing some of her new music with us!
Chrissy is an exceptional musician, songwriter, and vocalist originally from Cape Girardeau, Mo. She attended college at Murray State, KY., and currently resides in St. Louis. She plays piano and guitar and has a gorgeous singing voice, perfectly suited for the Rhythm and Blues she so loves. Possessing great range both in her voice and her songwriting, she plays Pop, Classic Rock, and Alternative-Soul music as well. Renick has performed at The Old Rock House, the Way Out Club, Cicero’s, The Over/Under, Petra Hookah Lounge, FOAM Coffee & Beer, The Benton Park Café, The Wood, and many other area venues. Her influences include, Alicia Keyes, Corinne Bailey Rae, India Arie, MeShell Ndegeocello, Lauryn Hill, Joss Stone, Fiona Apple, Aaliyah, Jack Johnson, and Sarah Bareilles.
Warming up the stage for Miss Renick will be wildly popular poet Blackstone (Cyral Laban Vaughan). Blackstone is a talented poet, author, spoken word artist, radio personality, emcee, and public speaker. His spoken word performances are magnetic and intriguing, and his writing is of great strength and depth. Blackstone has been featured at Café Annie’s (Orlando), The Blue Shark (Tampa), Solstice Lounge (Tampa), Spice Lounge (Tampa), Sacred Ground (Tampa), The In Spot (STL), and Midtown (STL), among others. He co-produced (with author and spoken word artist X Blu Rayne) the iconic show “S.W.A.U. - Spoken Word Addicts Unleashed” at Escalades Bar & Grill. Cyral has a CD he is working on called “Raise a Man, Raise an Individual; Raise a Woman, Raise a Nation”, and his latest book, entitled “Oil and Water”, was released on June 15th of last year. Mr. Vaughan lives with his family in St. Louis, Mo.
Gracing our stage for the first time will be Cris Gualberto, a multi-talented artist originally from Quincy, IL. His live performances are intense, and his work is deeply intriguing. His most recent performance was at The Regional Arts Commission for the world-wide event “100 Thousand Poets For Change”, in which he delivered captivating performances separately and in group format. Gualberto attended and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, and then went on to become a Peace Corps volunteer, where he served in Gambia from 2002 to 2004. Upon his return to the states he worked as a substitute teacher, Upward Bound summer instructor, teaching assistant, political campaign worker, and office assistant. He is currently a research technician and laboratory manager in the Department of Molecular Biology at Washington University School of Medicine.
Cris first put pen to paper in 2007, and has written two collections of poetry – “Blossoms of the Fading World”, and “Amaryllis in Dreams”. He is now in the process of creating a third book that is tentatively titled “Alcestis”. His poetry is an attempt to “explore the intersection of human perception with memory and the construction of identity through myth and the awareness of time”. Cris’ influences include timeless poets such as Walt Whitman, Arthur Rimbaud, T.S. Eliot, Constantine Cavafy, Guillaume Apollinaire, George Trakl, and Ezra Pound.
Tres Morrison, a brilliant up and coming musician, songwriter, and vocalist who is originally from London, UK, will be here as well. His range of musical styles is impressive, ranging from Alternative Rock to Heavy Metal to Gospel. His influences include Leonard Cohen, U2, Jason Mraz, Jeff Buckley, The Script, and Mumford and Sons. He has been singing since he was very young, and he has performed at many local fundraisers and charity events. He has a great voice and his musical performances are amazing. He is currently working on his first CD and is in two new bands: “Dead by Six” and “Endless October”. He is forming a third band with his friend Lamone Waller. Tres also recently auditioned for the hit show American Idol. He and his family reside in Cahokia, IL.
Our Special Guest for the night will be Miss Mocha Williams,(pictured left) a well-known and much-loved poet, writer, and spoken word artist originally from St. Louis, Mo. She attended Northwest High School and is currently a Registered Nurse. Her work ranges from fiery love poetry to the hilariously comedic, and her performances are electric, to say the least. She has performed at Exo Lounge, Club 15, The Cigar Inn, STL’s Finest Bar & Grill, and many other local venues. In her spare time Mocha enjoys writing poetry, reading, watching sports and movies, and listening to contemporary R&B.
We hope you will join us every 2nd & 4th Thursday at The Cigar Inn. Doors-8; Show-9
Love & Hugs,
