Chewstick Neo-Griot Lounge Bermuda

So how did Chewstick came into being? Initially in December 2002, a group of artists from Bermuda came together to put on an event to share artistic talents. This event was the beginning of what they named as the Neo-Griot movement. It has gone on to become an intensely creative and spiritual platform for free expression and participated by artists (new or established) from all facets of life.

Chewstick attracts some of the most diverse, inclusive and exciting participants and audience in the island.

Because of Chewstick's diversity and reputation as the premier live entertainment event platform in Bermuda, it has hosted some of the biggest names, both local and from outside.
