The Genesis: Friday, October 19, 2007. Verse & Harmony was created when a cabal of El Chuco poets were seeking a place to loiter, drink chai tea, and recite our verse. The folks at an eastside coffeehouse agreed to let us try a night of open mic poetry. After a couple of performances, some musicians magically appeared and hung around, adding harmony. Ergo, the fusion of word and sound began. And the rest is history.
