An array of amazing artists and speakers will be on hand for an event that will be as entertaining as it is enlightening all backed the masters of improvisational music Larry Simon and The Beat Night Band.

The Beat Festival is a culmination of projects, poets, performers and artists that I’ve been involved with the last year and is an awareness and fundraising event for the three organizations that I’ve done poetry classes with. All proceeds from ticket sales and raffle will go to Safe Harbor Recovery Center in Portsmouth for those going through recovery, The Chase Home for Children in Portsmouth for at-risk youth and the International Institute of New England in Manchester helping refugees and immigrants to New Hampshire. Representatives from each of these organizations will on hand to give us some info and inspiration.

Check out the article about the Festival and some other stuff by Debbie Kane.
