You’ve been to a poetry slam. A concert. A live performance. But let us introduce you to an event that combines all three.

Join us for Voice Box Indy, a monthly celebration of self-expression that invites area artists to come and create together, letting word and song interweave into one unforgettable event. Every month is different, with a new theme, new storytellers, and new tales to tell.

Voice Box Indy plays every second Tuesday of every month at Indie Lounge, Indianapolis. Come in, grab a cocktail (or two!), and settle for a bit of soul-sharing. Featuring Molly Milton and host Haley Lawrence.

Voice Box originated in Chicago and was expanded to Indianapolis in 2019 by local empowerment coach Haley Lawrence, www.thefearlessleap.com. We begin with our featured artist performing an opening number that sets the tone — and theme — for the evening. What follows is a lineup of storytellers, each with their own take on the theme. Between stories, you’ll be treated to music inspired by the tale you’ve just been told. What results is a one-of-a-kind performance, a sort of living, breathing event that evolves with the mood as we go.

Are you feeling inspired? As we wind down the fun, audience members are invited to take their turn at the mic, sharing a two-minute story. 

Interested in getting involved? We’re looking for all types-music-makers, storytellers, poets, spoken word- we want to hear from you. Your voice and story matter!
