This show will be at the IMC (downtown Urbana) in the gallery. This is the first show we've had at the IMC since May when our performance space was closed down.
Staceyann Chin is a slam poet from New York. She has won dozens of awards for her work and she will soon appear on HBO's Def Poetry Jam. The last time Staceyann Chin played in town she drew hundreds of fans. Now is your chance to see her in a very intimate setting slaming solo rhymes and collaborating with Doria.
Staceyann Chin, a Jamaican woman living in New York, fiercely believes in the world's "range of possibilities." Her sexy "Litany of Desires" crescendoes into a fire that has the house enraptured -- and howling. - San Fransisco Examiner
This will be Doria Roberts' third appearance in an IMC show. Everytime she has performed has been inspiring. She plays a funky overlap of fierce folk with an R&B groove and a jazzy awesome voice. Doria is a big supporter of Indymedia and spreads the word about our movement to her audiences nationwide.
"Just a girl and her guitar can sometimes blast above the rowdiest rock. That's the case with Doria Roberts. Her lyrical wisdom and simple strums combine to make for one grooving gig. Roberts' music is both political and emotionally savvy. " -- Curve Magazine
"Doria Roberts plays a delicious almost indescribable acoustic based mix of folk, R&B and jazz. Singing it with sweet soul and a whole lotta class" -- Hal Horowitz, Atlanta Press
Doria and Staceyann are heading up to a women's music festival in Chicago and we're very lucky that they decided to stop in to Champaign-Urbana on the way.
Capacity of this show is limitted to 49 people. If you arrive early and pay we can stamp your hands so you can be sure to get back in when the show starts without having to wait.
There will be no opening act so arrive on time to catch Doria and Staceyann!
