About the event
Speakeasy, our monthly music and poetry evening. Musicians and poets each do a 20-25 minute set which is followed by open mic. Afterwards we mingle for conversation, connection and light refreshments. Students are welcome.
Featuring music from John "Roy Zat" Croizat. https://royzat.com/ Roy Zat has been making music in the Bay Area and beyond since the 70s. His latest CD, WHERE ZAT was #12 in the Alt Folk Albums of 2022. "With Appalachian influences, Cajun, dust bowl, and a dash of rocka-billy - each song sounds and reads like a book. His lyrics are stunning and his rich vocals bring life to each song." - Indie Showcase.
