Pink Rock Culture Co-op

WHAT IS THE SYRACUSE STORY PROJECT?
A monthly open-mic storytelling event in which anyone in the audience can share a 5-minute story on the night's theme.
THE NIGHTLY PROGRAM
Doors at 6:30pm. Storyteller hopefuls put their name in a hat
Event begins at 7:00pm. Local poet and MC, Tim Carter, will kick things off. Most nights will kick off with a short performance by a local artist.
10 stories, 5 minutes each. One by one, storytellers are randomly chosen from the hat and take the stage to share their personal story.
WHAT ARE THE RULES?
We follow The Moth storytelling guidelines. Check out the link in our bio for more info, but here are the basics:
. It must be TRUE. . It must be ON THEME. . It must have STAKES. . It must be YOUR STORY TO TELL. . It must be ON TIME (5 min max!) . It must be TOLD, not read. (No notes, paper or cheat sheets allowed on stage.)
The following should never be included in your story, · Racial slurs or hate speech. · Caricatures, "explaining" a culture that is not your own. · Making another person's identity the punchline. · Celebrating unwanted sexual advances.
ELEMENTS OF A GREAT STORY
Have a great first line that sets up the stakes and grabs attention.
Connect with the audience. Choose a meaningful story. Show what you value and who you are.
It should be more than an anecdote. How did it feel emotionally, how you were affected, how did you react?
Practice, practice, practice .... but remember that rote memorization can kill the vibe!
Stick the landing! Tie up your story with a clear ending, make it clear that you ended in a different place than you started.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/144044/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

May 21 is a wonderful lineup! Reese Fulmer Quartet (Saratoga Springs, NY) and Brian Thomas Band (Syracuse, NY). $10-$20 tickets
Reese Fulmer Quartet blend folk, jazz &amp; Americana with wit, heart, and unpredictability—always fresh, genre-bending, and joy-filled. Cutting his teeth as the house manager right here at Caffè Lena, Reese Fulmer has emerged “with a poet’s sensibility rich with great storytelling and a healthy dose of irony.” (Viv Nesbitt, Art of the Song) The 2023 and 2024 Americana Artist of the Year at the Thomas Edison Music Awards, Reese and his band have become one of the fastest-rising groups in upstate NY with expansive live albums highlighting a reputation for compelling performances. With a rotating cast of talented players, a broad and dynamic body of work, and a refusal to set anything in stone, their shows are always fresh, full of joy, and hard to describe. Think Wilco with hints of Prine and Zappa: "smart, emotionally tuned arrangements and a stage presence that balanced earnestness with unpredictability. Their live performance thrives in the liminal space between genres folk, Americana, jazz and the result is a sound that’s complex without being convoluted." (NYSMusic)
 Brian Thomas is a folk musician whose music resonates with listeners from all walks of life. Drawing inspiration from the rich storytelling traditions of folk music, Brian weaves narratives that explore themes of love, loss, and the beauty of nature. With a unique blend of acoustic guitar, banjo, and harmonica, his sound evokes a sense of nostalgia while staying fresh and relevant in today's music scene. Hailing from Upstate NY, Brian’s journey in music began at an early age, listening to his uncles play blues and bluegrass music. Over the years, Brian’s songs have found a home in intimate venues and festival stages, where their authentic presence and raw emotion leave a lasting impression on audiences.
