@thereal_ericbturner: Sometimes you show up simply to support the art… and the art calls YOU forward. 🎶 This past Saturday, September 12 — the National Day of Encouragement — I had the exhilarating experience of attending Smash Poets, surrounded by some of the most gifted poets in the tri-state area. I came to listen. I came to support. Somehow… I ended up SINGING. 😂 And maybe that’s what “HOLDING ON” is really about: staying open long enough for the unexpected moment to find you—and becoming encouragement while you’re being encouraged. Special love to my brother and friend Ralph Rolle and our host Wallace St Clair for creating space where ARTISTS can pour into ARTISTS. 🎥 And this footage?! Captured by Hattress Barbour — THE MOST SENSATIONAL POET I have experienced in YEARS. Mark my words: the world will know his name. And we’re just getting started… 🎶 SOUL AFTER WORK — The Harlem Sessions 📍 El Barrista Café • Harlem 📅 Thursday, September 24 ⏰ 6:00 PM Come hear “Holding On” and experience an evening of Blues, Soul, storytelling and everything that makes live music LIVE. Keep creating. Keep encouraging. Keep HOLDING ON. #HoldingOn #EricBTurner #SoulAfterWork #HarlemSessions #ArtistSupportingArtist @ralphrolle
