Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Old Truck Revival, Stella Luna and the Satellites
Saturday, April 28, 2012
Locals Only - 2449 E. 56th Street
21+, door 7:00 pm, show 8:30 pm, nonsmoking, $5.
Old Truck Revival is made up of Gary Wasson, John Bowyer, Junk Box Mike and Gary Rakow - that's too much talent to fit in a regular pickup, they'll need an flatbed for that. They promise a show of "sweet electrified hillbilly, rockabilly, folk, bluegrass, and rock." Luna and the Satellites will open the show.
I suggest that you include Locals Only in your dinner plan for the evening, I'm partial to the spinach melt quesadilla. And if you're offered salsa, order it - it's delicious. It's made by the lovely Robin Hudson. Speaking of yummy food - Locals Only is now serving Sunday brunch from noon - 3:00.
Weekly Events
The Corner Wine Bar - 6331 Guilford Ave - free, nonsmoking, 21+
I realized that I don't do a good job of taking about reoccurring events. The Corner Wine Bar has some great things regularly scheduled on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. And they typically have music on Thursday too.
The music is in the Wine Cellar. You can reach it stairs on either the Corner Wine Bar or the Wellington sides. The Cellar is much cozier then most basements. And unlike most basement bars there is no old Budweiser banner stolen from a college bar - there is actually a great selection of the fine liquor, craft beers, and of course, wine. The full Corner Wine Bar menu is available in the Wine Cellar also. It is a great place to have dinner and hear music.
Every Friday and Saturday (7:00 open for dinner, 9:00 music): A Touch of 'Grass
. . . bluegrass, that is. And tomfoolery. There is a core band made up of veteran musicians with weekly special guests. Their music will make your toes tap and their jokes will make you groan. Just how they like it. I always have a great time at their shows.
Every Sunday (6:00 pm show and dinner) Gary Wasson's Open Stage
If you've never been to an Open Stage show, don't be nervous. They won't make you play (unless you want to, of course). It is a great chance for musicians to try out new music and a great chance for the audience to be the first to hear something. Gary Wasson hosts the evening of local music. No two shows are the same, which is most of the fun. You'll hear musicians just starting to play in public and well-known folks looking for the chance to play a solo acoustic show instead of performing with their band. No matter who is playing, it is always entertaining.
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.
