Join us for a free (donations welcome) Open Mic event at Moodswing Bar in New West! We’ll have feature poet Steve Miller at 6:30pm followed by an Open Mic. All genres welcome.

SAPP and Moodswing celebrate ALL folks — come hang out with us in a welcoming space with good drinks, food, and community. Mocktails available for non-drinkers.

This event is sponsored by The Sapperton Press.

Steve Miller  is a spoken word artist, slam poet, storyteller, performer, workshop creator/facilitator, singer (he thinks), musician (nope but I still try), renaissance handy person (who identifies as a man-kinda).  He currently lives and works on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Qayqayt First Nation, the first people of this land, and the shared traditional territories of other Coast Salish peoples, including the Musqueam, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Tsleil-Waututh, and Katzie nations.

Steve Miller's work is defined by its relatable accessibility, often comedic yet raw honesty and unflinching, confessional style. His poetry courageously explores the complexities of human connection, personal trauma, and the search for healing.
