Jawad Ali is a regular at San Francisco's story telling scene.  He has performed at City Solo, Words First, Solo Sundays and at Porchlight story telling series.  This piece was developed at W. Kamau Bell's Solo Performance Workshop.  During the day Jawad designs technology for the Silicon Valley.

As a solo performer, Carolyn Doyle has performed with TIOT and CounterPULSE’s Words First, EXIT’s Thursday Night Combo and the SF Solo and SF Theatre Festivals. Carolyn’s previous solo show, “Confessions of a Refrigerator Mother” enjoyed a highly successful 4 week run at The Marsh, playing to sold-out crowds.

Olga Loya is a nationally known bilingual (Spanish) storyteller, performance artist, teacher and writer who presents to all ages from pre-school to seniors. She tells stories that support her beliefs that we can work together as a community,  that we can learn to look beyond racial and class lines and that we can take the time to enjoy ourselves through stories and song.  For the last thirty years Olga has performed and led workshops all over the USA and Mexico and  has been featured in many festivals including the Guadalajara Storytelling Festival and The National storytelling Festival in Jonesborough.

Elaine Magree
A California native: sometimes a wave, sometimes a photon- because you can't be in two places at once, or can you ?

Hassaun Ali Jones-Bey introduces himself as Boundless Gratitude (or BG) to describe his style and motivation for musical storytelling. BG delivers honest words and evocative imagery in a warm and expressive voice, accompanied by intoxicating harmonies and rhythms of a nylon-stringed guitar deftly mining ancestral memories from BG’s DNA. From social commentary and love songs to folk, pop and jazz ballads and children’s music, BG refuses to either dodge issues or be negative.

Tell it on Tuesday has MOVED to The Marsh, Berkeley!!
Our June Anniversary performance was our last at JMCA.

Stephanie Weisman, Artistic Director of The Marsh in San Francisco invited us to bring Tell it on Tuesday to The Marsh’s new Berkeley space, and it was an offer that was hard for us to pass up! We’re so excited for the move and the Marsh partnership, and we can’t wait to share our August 31st performance with you in our new space!
