Act II - Our featured storyteller is comedian and public speaker
Vince FabraAct III - Stories and Songs with Will Stewart
Way Gone, the stirring new mini-album from Birmingham AL singer-songwriter-guitarist, Will Stewart, doesn’t waste any time: In just 23 minutes, Stewart’s follow-up to 2018’s critically-acclaimed County Seat rips through six keenly-detailed portraits of restless, desperate souls with white line ferocity – as if he’s on a mission to chronicle the tales of these disparate nighthawks before the sun comes up. Despite the rush, Way Gone somehow stops to smell the roses via revealing lyrics and softer tunes that belie deep, opposing tensions. This is most evident on Way Gone’s opening track – and first single – “Southern Raphael”: A late-night tale of dive bar flirtation propelled by taut rhythms and skittery guitars. The atmosphere is gradually thickened by subtle synths that rise and converge with the guitars until they burst into crescendo – detonated by a lyrical twist that’s either deeply romantic or utterly terrifying. Possibly both. It’s like Cormac McCarthy writing lyrics for The Feelies – which makes it both an outlier and a perfect way to kick off this gripping, novella-like collection of songs.

WHAT IS THE STORY SEVEN?
Have you always wanted to tell a story onstage? Or do you prefer to listen while others share? Either way, join us at the monthly storytelling variety show the Sunday Story Seven. The open mic is open to new and seasoned storytellers - just put your name in the hat for a chance to tell a 5-minute
true tale. No notes, no theme - just you and the mic! Never tried a storytelling open mic before? Love hearing true, personal stories? Love live music? Come see what it's all about.
* If you would like to put your name in the hat to participate in the open mic, reserve your free ticket using the code "STORYTELLER". There is no guarantee that your name will be called, but if you choose to use this free promo code, please come ready with a five-minute true story to share, without notes. This is not a comedy routine, and it must be a real story that happened to you. If the show is not sold out, you may also put your name in the hat when you arrive, but the only free tickets for storytellers are via advance reservations. Want to be considered as a storytelling headliner? Sign up here! One teller will be showcased each month.* * Sign up
