Nicole Williams was just one of the poets that opened for Jared Paul at Maytan Music on 4/23. She had suffered a concussion a week prior, but was strong and courageous enough to go up on stage anyway, and she delivered. We then had the opportunity to ask her a few questions.

Episode 7: Jared Paul
Episode 7
To call Jared Paul a spoken word poet would just be the tip of the iceberg. And if you label him as an activist or a hip hop artist, you're still barely scratching the surface. He doesn't just write, he doesn't just speak and protest, he's an activist that's actually active, he tours the country to speak and holds meetings and events in his hometown, and he also finds the time for his hip-hop group, Prayers for Atheists. We were lucky enough to have him come to Reno and he agreed to meet with us and do a private show and answer a few questions.

Episode 5: Crush
Episode 5
Crush is one of those bands that just bursts with talent. They are real musicians who like to experiment and aren’t afraid to think outside of the box. They mix things like 90′s grunge, folk vocals, and dubstep underneath their instruments to create a strange yet awesome sound. We’ve been wanting to film them for a while but finally had the chance before they did a show. We invaded their practice session in their living room, they played a whole set for us, and let us pick the 2 songs we liked the most. It was hard narrowing it down, but “Amy” and “Maribell” were the winners. Enjoy!

Episode 4: Memory Motel
Episode 4
The members of Memory Motel may be young, but they're talented and really care about music. After playing an hour-long set, they stripped down to just the basics: a toy piano, a guitar, a tambourine, and a bass drum, and played a few songs. They answered questions about how they got started, and where they're going next. Filmed after the imPROMPTu Poetry Slam at the Studio on 4th in Reno, NV.
