Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

posted: Oct. 12, 2012

This is the sixth year for the Broad Ripple Music Fest and each year the volunteers that host the event do a great job of making the music more accessible. This is the first year you can easily walk from venue to venue. I hope you'll take at least part of your day to listen to original music and support this great event.

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.
