Every Wednesday at Red Tub, West Columbia!

What began as an Open Mike for Poets, Phoenix Tongue has grown as a place for creativity. On any given night from novice to acclaimed Poets, Musicians, Story Tellers drop in. The impetus of this night is its poets, home grown, with sheets of word on paper, and tomes of notebooks. A space in conjunction with The Red Tub where inspiration gathers, and speaks.
