Beat Night

Beat Night is an 19 year old poetry reading originally started by Larry Simon held every 3rd Thursday of the month at 7pm upstairs at the Press Room in Portsmouth New Hampshire. What sets Beat night apart is that the writers get to read with a full band. They give a few words about the tone, style or mood they want for their piece and the band improvises something just for that. The results range from fun to amazing! Beat Night is a mutual exchange of inspiration between the writer, the band and the audience and it’s never the same thing twice. Join us for our next event!
