Global Beatles Day
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
You can often find photographer Faith Cohen's wonderful work hanging at Zest! Exciting Food Creations, but I'm here to tell you about Faith's Global Beatles Day.
In Faith's words, "Global Beatles Day is a day honoring and celebrating the phenomenon and ideals of the Beatles, collectively and individually, for their gifts to the world including, but not limited to, their promotion of peace and love, of truth and youth, and of the expansion of human consciousness. More specifically, GBD commemorates the Beatles music - their promotion and expansion of rhythm and blues, rock and roll, world music... and especially their collective and personal exploration of a myriad of musical ideas and innovations."
Faith chose June 25 as the day to celebrate the Beatles because on June 25, 1967 their song "All You Need Is Love" was first performed by the Beatles on the BBC program, Our World. It was the first live global television link and broadcast to twenty-six countries and watched by 400 million people.
I'm a big fan of Faith and her dream of holiday celebrating the Beatles. Let's all do our part on Tuesday, June 25 and honor the band's lasting influence. Play a Beatles record or queue one of their songs on your iPod, brush your hair over your forehead, scream like a teenage girl, or whatever makes you think of them.
ROLLOVER
Saturday, June 29, 2013
Indy Hostel
4903 Winthrop Ave - all-ages, 7:00 PM, $10
Well-known Chicago band, ROLLOVER will be in our neighborhood. The Indy Hostel is celebrating their tenth year with a series of concerts (mark your calendar for August 10, the Indy Hostel Folk Fest). ROLLOVER was the first band from Chicago ever to be signed by the legendary Bill Graham Management (Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Neville Brothers, Joe Satriani). They are a band with a classic roots-rock sound influenced by late 60's and 70's rock.
ROLLOVER has toured with some of rock's biggest acts, including The Allman Brothers, Sheryl Crow, Blues Traveler, John Hiatt, The Neville Brothers, Cheap Trick, Buddy Guy, Eddie Money, Robin Trower, Johnny Winter and many others.
For the last 18 years Louie Zagoras (main singer-songwriter) has been writing songs with Roy Marinell. Roy co-wrote "Werewolves of London," "Excitable Boy," and other hits with the late Warren Zevon. Roy most recently co-wrote Kid Rock's hit song "All summer long" - the song which caused me to have an inexplicable crush on Kid Rock a few summers ago.
Anyway, this promises to be a great show with a fantastic band.
WARMfest
Labor Day Weekend
Broad Ripple Park
all-ages, early bird 3-day passes $70, 1-day $30 (limited quantities), children 10 and under free
As you might know I usually go to Austin for the Austin City Limits Festival in the fall, but this year I'm skipping it for a festival in our own backyard. I know this event is months away, but you should get your tickets now. The White River Arts & Musical Festival (WARMfest ) will run for three days over Labor Day weekend. WARMfest is a collaboration of several key groups: Indy Parks & Recreation, Indie Arts & Vintage Marketplace and Broad Ripple Music Fest. A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit the Carl G. Fisher Society, a non-profit whose goal is to restore the waterfront of Broad Ripple.
Early Bird Three-Day Passes are $70. Once the $70 tickets sell out, they'll go up to $80, so buy them now while you can! Early Bird Single Day Tickets start at just $30. There are VIP options available also.
Acts are still being added to the lineup. Here's a taste of the shows by each day.

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.
