Tonic Ball 9, featuring songs of the Beatles
Friday, November 19, 2010
Fountain Square Theatre/ Radio Radio - Fountain Square
7:00, $20, non-smoking
Tonic Gallery - New Day Meadery - free
The Tonic Ball and Tonic Gallery is one of Indianapolis' most popular nights of music and art - I certainly know that it's mine! The Tonic Gallery features works by some of the city's most renowned visual artists - Douglas David, Susan Brewer, Kyle Ragsdale and my dad (he made an awesome bench from rescued church pews). The art work is sold in a limited silent auction, starting at $100 with a buy-it-now price of $400.
The Tonic Ball features over 30 bands all playing at least one Beatles song. I've been working really hard to make sure that none of the songs are duplicated. The ticket allows you to visit both venues and see as much music as you can. Radio Radio is 21+, but Fountain Square Theatre is all-ages and the over 21 crowd can still buy a drink at the bar - how cool is that?
For a complete line up of bands and other information visit: www.tonicindy.com
Tickets will be available at both LUNA locations by November 10 or you can purchase online now.
I can't wait!
Jann Klose with Macaela Kingslight
Friday, November 19, 2010
Indy Hostel - 4903 Winthrop Ave
317-727-1696
8:00pm, $10, non-smoking, all-ages
Singer-songwriter Jann Klose is based in New York, but has lived all over the world. He came to the States as an exchange student in Cleveland, Ohio, and has lived in Germany, Kenya and South Africa. His music reflects this lyrically, melodically, rhythmically and in his choice of eclectic instruments and musicians.
During the course of his career, Jann has worked live or in the studio with artists ranging from pioneers like Pete Seeger and Les Paul to classic rockers like Roger (The Byrds) McGuinn, and Annie (Renaissance) Haslam to major country stars like Rosanne Cash and Marty Stuart. WGN Radio's Steve & Johnnie, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Joey Reynolds and Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson have all personally lent a helping hand in his career.
Jann's music has been featured on MTV's Cribs, and in the soundtrack to the Paul Sorvino film Dead Broke. He's performed in touring companies of Broadway shows: The Who's Tommy, Jekyll & Hyde, and Jesus Christ Superstar. Jann's most recent recording, REVERIE, was financed and produced with fan support.
Micaela Kingslight is a powerful singer with an elegant guitar style. She recently was awarded the Emerging Artist Grant from the Gilmore Foundation.
The Indy Hostel is a wonderful and intimate venue to hear music and enjoy time with the musicians.
Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Holiday Show
With Alice Chalmers ATSACIYJB and Neon Love Life
Friday, November 26, 2010
Vogue Theatre - 6259 N. College Ave.
$12 - advance, $15 - day of show, non-smoking, 21+
When I was in Austin last month I was having dinner with a friend - and by dinner, I mean whiskey - when I got a text from "Washboard" Breezy Peyton asking if Alice Chalmers could open for their holiday show. I shakily told my friend that the band was asked to play at the Vogue. He said, "Great! What band?" Umm, "the band I'm in." I will totally admit to squealing and jumping up and down!
So, Alice Chalmers and The Stick a Cork in Your Jug Band will be kicking off the day-after Thanksgiving show and we couldn't be more excited about it.
The all-woman jug band will be followed by the all-woman rockers, Neon Love Life. NLL's Lindsay Manfredi and I were both at the Toad The Wet Sprocket show at the Vogue this summer. We independently "ran into" (stalking seems like such a harsh word) the band's Glen Phillips in the alley behind the Vogue. I told Glen that Lindsay was in a punk band and that I was in a jug band. Glen told us, "they're closer than you think." Now you can be the judge.
The main event of the evening will be, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. This will be their homecoming show. They've been on the road for months and having a wonderful time in Europe and the East Coast. I don't have the words to explain how damn fun the band is. And I'm sure they'll have some great stories.
See you there - I'll be the one playing typewriter and grinning wildly.
Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
