.Be Our Guest: Sage Francis

SageFrancisBOGWin tickets to see Sage Francis at The Catalyst Club on SantaCruz.com

It’s not everyone who can say they were writing rap lyrics at the age of eight and sneaking out of the house at 12 to go compete in rap battles, but not everyone is a natural wordsmith like Sage Francis. An underground rapper with above-ground recognition and respect, Francis has been rapping for more than 30 years. He’s also a celebrated spoken-word artist, helping to put Providence, Rhode Island on the map as a hotbed for the arts, and hosting a weekly poetry slam at the legendary New York club CBGB.

INFO: 8 p.m. Monday, May 25. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $18/adv, $20/door. 423-1338.

WANT TO GO? Go to the Sage Francis Giveaway on SantaCruz.com before 11 a.m. on Friday, May 22 to enter to win a pair of tickets to the show.
