To celebrate Women's History Month, Monika Herzig has gathered a talented group of jazz artists to play music composed by women. Women are underrepresented in the jazz world - as in most music genres - even though there are gobs of talented women musicians in our town.

The lineup for the show includes: Boeyink (bass) is a doctoral candidate at the IU Jacobs School of Music. She is a first-call jazz bassist in the Indianapolis/ Louisville area and a frequent clinician and adjudicator. Carolyn Dutton (violin) has spent more than thirty years in the New York music scene performing on Broadway and in countless musical ensembles. A decade ago, she returned to Indiana and earned a Masters in Jazz Studies from the IU Jacobs School of Music. Shawn Goodman (clarinet) has won numerous awards and scholarships and is currently an adjunct instructor of clarinet at Butler University. She is also the conductor and president of the Symphonic Youth Orchestra of Greater Indiana as well leader of her own jazz groups. Monika Herzig (piano) is an Owl Studios Recording Artist and Indiana University faculty member. Her music has won awards from Down Beat and Billboard magazines and she is also the author of David Baker - A Legacy in Music. Heather Ramsey (vocals) is the CEO of the Midwest School of Voice in Carmel. Together with Monika Herzig she also leads the "Girls Create Music" camps. The fabulous Wendy Reed (vocals) has been an in-demand entertainer in the Indianapolis area for several decades and she's all kinds of awesome. Jordan West (drums) is currently finishing her music degree at Butler University. Her group "Trackless" recently released their first recording.

This promises to be a great show.

I can't begin to tell you how much I love Ryan Bingham. I was lucky enough to interview him and see him at Birdy's in 2008, on his first national tour. He and his band were still hauling their own gear and camping in the van. My, how things have changed! Ryan has released his fourth album; won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy for the song "The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart)," toured Europe and played to thousands of people at festivals. I'm excited that he's coming back to our town. The tracks I've heard from his latest record Tomorrowland are a little less acoustic, a little more electric guitar, more of an alt-rock feel vs. alt-country. I'm looking forward to hearing it live.

Opening the show is the duo honeyhoney. Their sound is a mix of folk, pop, country and loveliness.

This promises to be a great evening. I'll be the one pretending like I'm not stalking Ryan.
