Weekly Open Mic Returns Thursday

It has been a while since the city of Louisville's well-known weekly open mic event took place. In May 2022, the event went on a hiatus for several reasons such as the lack of having the right resources to operate the event consistently.

After surviving the rift and rafts of Covid-19 restrictions and several different venue business changes...it is now safe to say that the Thursday weekly night event known as The Louisville Vibe.... is back!!

We had a chance to speak with the curator/artist Sasha Renee and her business partner KeAngelo Raymond (502pac) Tuesday evening.

The two tuned in with us on what you can expect when attending the relaunch of the open mic event.

On Thursday February 2, 2023 the event returns at its' new venue, Habana Blues located on Preston Highway in Louisville, KY.

It is a venue where people attending do not have to go home right after the show is over . Instead, there is an opportunity for them to attend "The After Vibe" event. A new offer for those who wish to stay a while network and drink.

Other performances of the night include comedian Thomas Jackson, rapper Marc Dinero, Just La and many more.

Tickets for both events are on sale at louisvillevibe.eventbrite.com

Here's a look at the live interview.

Tyre Nichols Funeral Service on Wednesday

On the night of January 7, 2023 Tyre Nichols, 29-year-old motorist was pepper-sprayed, kicked and beaten by policemen after running from a traffic stop in Hickory Hill toward his parents home. Nichols was severely injured and passed away three days later in the hospital.

The five Memphis police officers involved have been fired and charged with second-degree murder. Two more have been relieved of duty, along with two sheriff deputies and three fire department employees who responded that night have also been fired.

The world was outrage after witnessing footage of Nichols attack and also hearing him call out for his mother. Footage was released on January 27 by the Memphis Police Department (MPD), four video clip edits showing the day of the incident between 8:24PM & 9:24PM. The release of the surveillance along with police body footage quickly led to worldwide protests.

The funeral service will be live Wednesday at 10:30AM (CT) on WREG website and News Channel 3 within the Memphis, TN television area.

Rev. Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy at the funeral.

Ben Crump, attorney for the Nichols family will deliver a "call to action" during a service led by Rev. J. Lawerence Turner.

Sources say that Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to attend the service as well.

Nichols will be laid to rest at the Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church.
