ELLIS & LAFLEUR: leaves & flowers An evening of spoken word and a cappella hip hop with Marv Ellis and Jorah LaFleurOn November 28th, two longtime Northwest wordsmiths come together for an evening of firsts. Hip hop artist Marv Ellis performs his new album 8 Pound Baby a cappella, offering an unprecedented opportunity to hear the words at the center of his music—unadorned, immediate, and fully in the room. For the first time in his career, Marv is also releasing a lyric book.Spoken word poet Jorah LaFleur launches Paper Microphone, a new micropress aimed at translating the stage onto the page. She will debut a collection of 8 pocket-sized books featuring spoken word pieces that, until now, have existed only as live performance.Ellis and LaFleur met as kids. After 35+ years of being classmates, framily, and mutual fans, this is their first official co-production and shared book launch. Together, these artists are leaving flowers: ensuring songs become text, and poems get printed. As the trees drop their foliage, the emcee drops bars without beats. As we deepen into fall, the poet prepares us for new petals, new pages. Musical interludes and ambience will be provided by the one-and-only DJ Deviate. With surprise guest instrumentalists. A singular night of creativity and collaboration. Come be a part of it live. Take a piece of it home.  Hip Hop // Spoken WordPT2H2026-11-28ELLIS & LAFLEUR: Leaves and Flowers"ELLIS & LAFLEUR: Leaves and Flowers"
