Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Todd Snider
Friday, May 30, 2014
Radio Radio
1119 Prospect Street
21+, doors 8:00, show 9:00, $30
I am excited about this show! I just finished Todd Sniders' book, I Never Met A Story I Didn't Like (Mostly True Tall Tales), and loved it. Reading his book is a lot like being at one of his shows, only without the music and the folks singing along. If you've seen Snider play, you know that his concerts are a meandering weave of spoken word stories and singing stories delivered by the charmingly barefooted, and most likely high, singer-songwriter.
This evening Snider will be reading from his book, playing songs, and answering questions. The book is an ambling collection of half-baked memories, song lyrics, and real-life larger-than-life characters. I love the behind-the-curtain stuff; Jimmy Buffet tossing fruit at Snider's head - which surprisingly had nothing to do with him dating Buffet's niece, making records, and road trips with his idol Jerry Jeff Walker and a slew of other musicians. Reading familiar names prompted me to dig though my record collection and spin a Kris Kristofferson album while I was reading. Snider is unabashed about his alcohol and drug use and career mistakes. His openness makes him even more loveable.
This show is part of the Sun King Concert Series and will be partially seated (more seats than usual). Advanced tickets available at: www.mokbpresents.com
Polica
Saturday, May 31, 2014
LUNA music
5202 N. College Ave
all-ages, 2:00 PM, free
Minneapolis' Polica is playing an in-store before their show at Radio Radio later that evening. The synth-pop band is celebrating this upcoming release of their second album. Their current tour will take them to the east coast and beyond! They'll be swinging through the Netherlands and Germany.
If you've never been to an in-store show it is a great way to see music in the daylight and to impress your children with your hipness.
Seth Walker Band with Kevin Anker
Sunday, June 1, 2014
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N College Ave
21+, $12, 6:00 - 9:00 PM
The Free Range Concert series is taking a field trip from their typical house concert venue in Zionsville. The series is known for their well curated shows and beautiful audience - okay, I might have made the audience part up, but the rest is true.
Bill and Kim are moving the show to our neighborhood for a good reason - more room for more fans to hear blues/roots musician, Seth Walker and his band. Indianapolis' own Kevin Anker will join.
Austin, TX based Walker hails from rural North Carolina and grew up in a musical and artistic family has honed Walker for his great stage presence and entertaining show.
The Jazz Kitchen has wonderful food, so plan on an evening of dinner and music. You'll be glad you did!

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.
