HYDROGEN JUKEBOX explodes POEMusic on the tongue with our ever-rockin’ house improv band THE NE’ERDOWELLS and YOU at NYC’s hottest musically-infused Open Mic!
This month’s featured act is the poignantly insightful and delightfully engaging Amber Atiya, jamming with the band (Davey Patterson, guitar; Matt Riganese, piano; Dave McKeon, bass; and Ry Pilla, drums).
AMBER ATIYA’s electrifying presence in the New York poetry scene brings an intense body of work that slices fresh emotional grooves on both stage and page. She has performed at Theater for the New City, Fashion Institute of Technology, Lehman College, Nuyorican Poets Café, and many elsewheres. Her poetry, which often speaks to the joys and sorrows of queerness, has been published in Tribes Magazine, Word Riot, Cartier Street Review, and Drunken Boat, and she is co-founder of a weekly women's writing group, currently celebrating its nine-year anniversary.
… And of course, we also look forward this evening to your turn to step up to the Open Mic! Sign-up begins at 5:45PM.

for the America of decades past. "
