Join Mad Swirl this 1st Wednesday of May (aka 05.07.25) when we’ll be doin’ the open mic voodoo that we do at Barbara’s Pavillion!

We will get things started with some musical grooves brought to you by Swirve (Chris & Tamitha Curiel, Gerard Bendiks) then hosts Johnny O & MH Clay will set the stage for some open mic madness!

This month we are featuring local mad one, Brett “BA” Ardoin! Here’s a bit about BA:

“B.A.” is a co-creative performance improvisationalist. Levitating images, thoughts and linguistic constructs into unexpected synchronistic combinations. A Cross Pollinator of Poetry, Collage Art and Three Chords of Mad Swirl Hootenanny Fuel. “B.A.” is the “Washboardist” for Oblong Cassidy and his SpaceHorse.
