  T.W.I.G.S. is a monthly youth open-mic jam session that takes place on the second Saturday of every month, and will give creative young people, under the age of eighteen, a chance to showcase their talents in the same format as Chewstick’s legendary Sunday night open-mic jam sessions. T.W.I.G.S., an acronym for “True Wisdom in Growing Souls” is meant to empower Bermuda’s youngest artists to take ownership of their talents, and give them a positive social outlet that can help them to grow and connect with each other.

  For those that are interested in performing, there will be a book to sign-up as you enter in typical Chewstick style, but you are warned to get there early if you wish to do so. There is a dedicated backline (drums, keyboard, bass and guitar amps) at the fully equipped Chewstick lounge, and youth are encouraged to bring their tracks, guitars or whatever they need to shine. And with the projectors, smoke machine and stage lights – you will indeed shine.

  T.W.I.G.S. is only $5 Soft drinks and snacks will be available for purchase, and donations toward the Chewstick Foundation’s programs and infrastructure would be much appreciated. Adults are encouraged to attend – but only if accompanied by a young person in their lives. Each and every young person is welcomed to attend on the second Saturday of every month at the Chewstick Neo-Griot Lounge & Cafe’ on the corner of Court Street and Elliot Street.

  Hosted by Tyler with performances by N.E.R.O., Yung Mack, Jahroy Richards, Makeem 'Haz' Bartley, Infamous Nerdz and YOU! If you are under 18, like to rap, sing, dance, write poetry, or play instruments - bring it!!
