Thursday, June 30 / Open Mic

WITL Open Mic – A Long Standing Tradition
The Ultimate Spoken Word Event

Hosted by Strangefroot for old times sake with music by SoleRose

SolRose is an acoustic folk duo comprised of Justice Rose & Dappho the Flow-er hailing from the Washington, D.C area.  Brought together by their love of music, this duo delivers tunes everybody can relate to. Intricate lyrics, soulful harmonies and melodic instrumentation is just the foundation of an amazing performance waiting to be seen. Dappho is on the bass and Justice strums the acoustic, together producing an eclectic, unique sound.  Pushing the limits with their keen writing skills and composing favorites such as, “Will you be my Jesus” and “Why do I love her?”, they are sure to captivate you and make you “Feel so High.”
