Lots of exciting things happening in and around The Word On The Street Festival! The Lethbridge Public Library in conjunction with The Most Vocal Poets Society is bringing Radio Personality and Poet Nik Beat to Lethbridge.

“Nik Beat has spent much time writing and playing music, and this shows in the lyricism of his work. His images and narratives are celebrations of pop culture, which allow his poetry to be direct, unpretentious, and uninhibited. ” ( http://www.kingsleyettienne.com)

Find him in the Theatre Gallery at the Lethbridge Public Library on September 22nd.  He’ll be setting the pace for what is guarenteed to be an awesome weekend of spoken word, authors, music and fun!  

Check out Nik Beat’s God Is A Romantic Scientist, Night Makes Us All Stars or Sir Real on our Myspace Page or keep your ears tuned to CKXU Sundays from 5 to 6 p.m  to catch his tracks on The Word On The Street Radio Show.
