Pecha Kucha Night: Sing Out Loud

The St. Augustine Chapter of Pecha Kucha presents three speakers discussing "Singing Out Loud" as part of the 2024 Sing Out Loud Festival on Saturday, September 7, 2024, beginning at 7:00 p.m. 

During this special Pecha Kucha event each singer/songwriter will present in the traditional 20/20 format and then offer a half-hour concert. 

Performance schedule:

• 7:00 p.m. — Shayla Nelson: Shayla Nelson grew up in St. Augustine, listening to live music at every opportunity. She began singing at a young age and, though still a student, is also a multi-talented singer, song-writer, musician, and actor. 
• 8:00 p.m. — Michael Lagasse: Blending folk, Americana, traditional, folk rock, and bluegrass, Michael is constantly turning the musical page, challenging himself to push beyond the norm. Founder of the Palm Valley String Band, he is also the front man for local bluegrass-folk-rock ensemble, The Wild Shiners.
• 9:00 p.m. — Trey Brewer: An accomplished guitarist, Trey Brewer has performed classical, jazz, pop, and bluegrass music with international acts and local groups. Trey spent a decade studying his craft and then began teaching high school and college students. A pilot, Trey named his band the North Florida Taildraggers.

For more than 10 years, the St. Augustine chapter of Pecha Kucha has presented local people sharing personal stories at evenings throughout the year. At PK events, pre-selected presenters discuss their thoughts on the evening's theme, showing 20 slides and speaking about each one for 20 seconds before moving on to the next. This 20X20 format enables each presenter six minutes and 40 seconds to present. During any Pecha Kucha Night, the audience can expect to learn, laugh, empathize, and be surprised.

Admission: This is a free event. The Pecha Kucha chapter welcomes donations to help fund future events.

When: Saturday, September 7, 2024. Presentations start at 7:00 p.m.

Where: At Dog Rose Brewery, 77 Bridge Street, St. Augustine, Florida 32084.
