Bobby LeFebre joins Five Points Jazz Virtual Festival

Poet Laureate for the State of Colorado joins this year’s Five Points Jazz Festival 2020 on Saturday, May 16!

Bobby LeFebre is an award-winning writer, performer, and cultural worker from Denver, Colorado. He is a two-time Grand Slam Champion, a National Poetry Slam Finalist, an Individual World Poetry Slam Finalist, and a two-time TEDx speaker.  LeFebre has performed at hundreds of cultural events, social actions, detention centers, conferences, and colleges and universities across the United States and abroad.

Many of us know LeFebre for his play Northside! Su Teatro’s Executive Director, Anthony Garcia, says “I think Bobby has only scratched the surface of what he’s capable of doing.”
