Jazz and poetry will merge once again at the Sports Caf\u00e9 in Building 8 when the M.E.L.O. Student Poetry Club holds its second Coffeehouse Showcase of the year.<\/p>\n
M.E.L.O. (Mentation Esoteric Lyrical Organization) President Durand Capers said the showcase will feature poetry from club members and non club members, as well as live jazz music from a still to be determined band.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to get to see a whole other side of Sinclair that you didn\u2019t even know existed,\u201d Capers said. \u201cYou\u2019re going to get some vocal artists, some singers, some poets. Some of them are going to go A cappella and some of them are going to read with the jazz band in the background. They have all those capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capers said anyone who plans on attending can expect a great atmosphere and great performances. M.E.L.O. also plans on featuring an open mic where audience members get the opportunity to perform impromptu poetry, but they must keep it clean.<\/p>\n
\u201cSinclair\u2019s content policy prohibits vulgar language and sexual content,\u201d Capers said. \u201cThe college is approximately 80 percent adult, but there are still some kids and there still are some rules for this area.\u201d<\/p>\n
Capers said the success of M.E.L.O.\u2019s previous showcase in September and requests from students inspired the second Coffeehouse. \u00a0The event is schedule for May 19 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though it\u2019s free, you\u2019re going to get your money\u2019s worth,\u201d Capers said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
