You’ve got to hand it to Dave Magario, he is one of the hardest working singer/songwriters in the city. He’s been doing a steady every-other Friday series here at the Q, most of it recorded!

Friday the 13th of November he’ll be sharing the stage with the fantastic Matt Fox, and will be flying solo for a post- Thanksgiving show on Friday the 27th.

If you’ve never heard Dave before, come down and check him out!

Little “a” Poetry Series: THIS MONDAY! JON SHYLLBERG

theqma — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:12:23 +0000

This coming Monday, the 26th of October, Jon Shyllberg will be featuring his poetry for the second time on our stage.

Fresh from his tour of the Worcester County Jail, Jon promises us new work and an entertaining night of spoken word. He is one of the most unique voices in the Worcester poetry scene, with an odd sense of humor and, uh, occasional vulgarity…

Come on down, buy a coffee, and take in some spoken word!

(The Little “a” Poetry Series occurs every Monday night at 7:30 sharp. There is an open reading followed by a feature. Hosted by “Cowboy” Matt Hopewell and Jonathan Wolf.)
