Saxophonist, Rob Dixon is back in town from playing the New Orleans Jazz Fest. And he's recently back from a Russian tour with drum legend Mike Clark. Rob is playing in our neighborhood with his hard-hitting, swingin' quintet. This will be a great way to shake off the rainy springtime.





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.
