Previews
Social Currency Exhibit
Friday, March 4, 2011
StutzArtSpace - 212 W. 10th Street
opening 5:00 - 8:00, free, non-smoking, all-ages
I post a ton of photos on facebook - I think I average at least one a day, usually mobile uploads. I'm really interested in this show. It will examine how the photos you post on facebook affect your social currency and how the photography reflects your community and how you interact with it. These are some of the issues fine art photographers will explore in the exhibition.
Showcasing a range of photography, the exhibit will look at how photographs are used and shared within communities and social networks, both online and offline.
Participating artists include Andy Chen (curator), Paul D'Andrea, Lauren Ditchley, Marg Herder, Ron Kern, Aaron Law, Ginny Taylor Rosner, Satch, John Sherman, Holly Sommers, and Matt Sommers.
The show will hang through March 25, 2011, and the gallery is open from 11:00 - 2:00 weekdays and by appointment. The gallery is one the first floor of the Stutz Business Center.
Bill Rumely, The Blue Collar Blue Grass Band & Bigger Than Elvis
Saturday, March 5, 2011
Radio Radio - 1119 Prospect St. - 8:00, $5, 21+, non-smoking
This concert will be some big adult fun. Not 'adult' in the blushy, uncomfortable way, but in the demographic of the musicians is a little older, way. Of course that brings up the whole question do musicians ever actually grow up, but I'll just stick to this show.
Bill Rumely is an attorney by day and folk-ish singer by night. You may remember him from his Sausagefest set last year. He's also a regular on the Wednesday City Market Farmer's Market schedule.
I haven't see The Blue Collar Blue Grass Band yet, but I'm guessing they're as advertised - blue grass for the everyman.
Bigger Than Elvis features that very talented (and ever-shrinking) Danny Thompson. Danny is an amazing rockabilly guitar player and singer. The band will have you dancing for sure.
Trombononymous
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
The Jazz Kitchen - 5377 N. College Avenue
Insert your favorite trombone joke here - you've got one, right? You don't? Further proof that the trombone and trombone players are overlooked. The band, Trombononymous is out to prove that one trombone is just not enough! Led by two stellar trombonists, Rich Dole and Carl Poposki, with a world-class rhythm section, Trombononymous brings to the stage swingin' arrangements of originals and jazz classics. This sounds like it will be by fun. And I dare you to say "Trombononymous," fast three times. Or just once.
Review
The Rough Sleepers
Friday, February 25, 2011
Sandstone Grill - Fishers, IN
As you all know, I'm pretty neighborhood-centric. I joke that I only leave the county for family occasions, and if my dentist office wasn't in Hamilton County, it would be true. Luckily my nephew's basketball game was also in Fishers that night, so I'd already crossed the Hamilton County line.
I got to see The Rough Sleepers play their first-ever public show. The band is made up a bunch of Broad Ripple guys including, Jeff Ayers, Keith Carey, Bob Vawter, Dean Metcalf and Ted Kirkendall. I could hear Keith singing one of my favorite songs, Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City as I walked through the parking lot. They were off to a good start in my book! They also covered songs by Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Beatles, and The Jayhawks.
If fans of the Grateful Dead are called 'Deadheads', I guess being a fan of The Rough Sleepers makes me a 'Sleepyhead.' You can catch them at their next gig at Sandstone Grill (116th and Olio Road, Fishers).

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.
