Bloom Stage presents "A Place For All Voices" - Storytelling, Live Music & Art

Bloom Stage proudly announces the first show in its 2026 series, “A Place for All Voices.” This show will invite audience members to reflect on the impact of all creative communities through an entertaining evening of live performance and art. The show also serves as a release party for Poetry in the Boro’s 10th anniversary anthology, also titled A Place for All Voices.

Through poetry, story, music, and performance, this show celebrates the history and reach of Poetry in the Boro, a reading and open mic event that regularly attracts standing-room-only crowds, actively welcomes a diverse group of participants and poetic styles, and has participated in collaborations across the state and beyond.

This show will feature the music of Heather Moulder, art by Henry Jones, live art by Gregory Lannom, and a host of storytellers and poets – we’ll be sharing more soon!

The beautiful Walnut House provides an intimate setting for this quarterly event, creating a space for connection and community.
Located at 116 N Walnut Street (off the Square in downtown Murfreesboro), doors at 5:30 pm with libations and light refreshments, and the show starts at 6 pm.

The Murfreesboro show will have online and on-site registration for a lottery-style open mic hosted by Nick Bush. (link coming soon)

We appreciate an anthology purchase or a $10 donation at the door to help with expenses, but admission is free. Art by Henry Jones will also be available for purchase.

Bloom Stage is a quarterly event that brings a blend of storytelling, poetry, music and art to the Murfreesboro stage at Walnut House. The series is produced by Kara J Kemp with assistance from Kory Wells and Poetry in the Boro and other community arts leaders.

Poetry in the Boro is a reading and open mic series founded in 2016 that provides a welcoming and supportive environment for expression of all community voices. Meeting most months at the Dapper Owl Coffee Pub, the series is directed by founder Kory Wells and a team of volunteers.
