SAT 2/22 : Samm Bennett SOLO
(and perhaps in duo w/ guitarist Datiko Gee, if he can make it!)
at LanCul, Shimokitazawa, Tokyo
20:00 ~ 22:00 - free entry
This will be an evening of songs and such: I'll be playing a solo set and possibly some duos with wonderful guitarist and good friend Datiko Gee. Also on the bill is songster David Brennan, singer/songwriter Charles Cullen and David Rudall. LanCul is a language school by day, bar/cafe by night. Looks like a friendly vibe there. LanCul is VERY close to Shimokitazawa station (check the map!), so hey, come on down.

FRI 2/28 : Samm Bennett SOLO
(and accompanying various poets) as part of
DRUNK POETS SEE GOD #13
at Bar Gari Gari, Ikenoue, Tokyo
(8.7 seconds from Ikenoue Station, Keio Inokashira line)
It's the lucky 13th installment of DRUNK POETS SEE GOD, where some of Tokyo's most engaging wordsmiths get on the mic and show their stuff. Hosted by by Samm Bennett, singer and poet Sorcha Chisolm and poetry titan Frank Spignese, this is the place to be for those who want to keep abreast of the latest in loquacious lingo! Samm (as well as other musicians, depending) will be on hand to provide instantaneous musical backing to any poet who might happen to want it, and all are welcome to read, recite, intone, chant, grumble, shout or otherwise enunciate. Fun stuff, serious stuff, flights of fancy, hilarity, stream of semi-consciousness, heaping helpings of free association and extended elocution. Hooray!
Come early (opens at 7pm) to sign up for a slot, if you want to get on the mic and let us hear what you
got to say. Otherwise, just roll in for a drink and a listen! 500 yen entry charge.
