I did it!!! My voice held up and I’m so grateful that I was able to perform on the final Main Stage event for @wordsaloudfest at the gorgeous @coffinridge! Thank you again to the organizers & all the volunteers for putting together such an outstanding festival.

[Greg Santos @moondoggyspad]

Also so thankful I was able to share the stage with such a strong and diverse group of performers. Thank you to my fellow poets for sharing their words & truth this weekend. Cheers to Words Aloud 2019! 🍷🙏✨

[Words Aloud @wordsaloudfest]

And it did!

[Greg Santos @moondoggyspad]

Thank you for the wonderful weekend so far @wordsaloudfest! So looking forward to this afternoon’s performance at Coffin Ridge Boutique Winery at 1pm. Scratchy and squeaky voice or not, the show will go on! ✨

Thanks for making the trek across country!

#Durham, you are gorgeous! I’m so excited to be here with my book, The Brightest Thing! @wordsaloudfest @caitlinpress

[Words Aloud @wordsaloudfest]

Glad you got some of your voice back by Sunday! Great show.

[Greg Santos @moondoggyspad]

So I seem to have lost my voice. But the show must go on! I safely made the trek to Owen Sound, Ontario and I don’t perform at @wordsaloudfest until Sunday, so fingers-crossed I rest my throat until then. In the meantime, here I am having a hot cup of local cider. Cheers! ☕️
