B SIDE 25: The Anniversary Experience

On The B Side, the poetry and music gathering that has run in South Florida since 2001, turns 25 with a Basel Week reunion at the Black Archives Historic Lyric Theater. Anthony David, Rhonda Thomas and Queen Sheba headline, with Allen Paul, Lavie, Karon Joseph Riley, Shaka Pace, Ingrid B, Courtney Mickens, Messiah Ramkissoon, M'Reld Green, Taboo, Mori Taiye and Salam The Poet also on the bill. The night brings back poets and musicians who have come through the B Side over the years, and the organizers are holding some surprise guests for the room. It doubles as an archive night, with photos, video and interviews collected through the evening.
