Buzzing Around Broad Ripple - by Nora Spitznogle
posted: Dec. 19, 2014
What did the salt say to the pepper? Season's Greetings!
It warmed my heart to see so many of you out and about on the Saturday after Thanksgiving supporting Broad Ripple's small businesses. This is my annual reminder of how lucky we are to have three independent record stores -- Indy CD & Vinyl (806 Broad Ripple Ave.), LUNA music (5202 N. College Ave.), and Vibes (1051 E. 54th St.) in our community. I am encouraging you to shop there for your new and used CD, vinyl, and cassettes. The three stores all have gifty items - tee shirts, equipment, cards, gift certificates, concert tickets, books, and things so hip and cool that I'm not sure how to describe them.
Lily & Madeleine
Sunday, December 21, 2014
Indy CD & Vinyl
806 Broad Ripple Ave,
2:00 - 3:00 pm, all-ages, free
You'll kick yourself later if you don't see Lily & Madeleine while they're still performing shows like this. The Indianapolis-based sisters have just returned from a European tour and have been garnering fabulous reviews from all over the world, including The New York Times.
The show will be held on Indy CD & Vinyl's new in-store stage.
You can earn cool cred bonus points with your teenagers by taking them to something so cool.

Holiday Sing-A-Long featuring Wendy Reed
Monday, December 22, 2014
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N. College Avenue
7:00 pm, 21+, free
The amazing Wendy Reed will lead the crowd in a sure-to-be-merry holiday sing-a-long. Knowing Wendy (and I'm glad I do) she will be decked out in festive wear and have fun surprises up her sleeve. I dare you to be in a bad mood around Wendy!
Enjoy the swanky setting and delicious food at The Jazz Kitchen while singing-along (or in my case mouthing the words) to holiday favorites.
Troubadour Night with Tim Brickley
Wednesday, January 7, 2015
The Jazz Kitchen B-Side Lounge
5377 N. College Avenue
7:00 - 10:00 pm, 21+, $5.00
Indianapolis musical legend Tim Brickley hosts a once-a-month local and regional singer/songwriter night. The B-Side Lounge is an intimate listening room in The Jazz Kitchen. The same great food, wine list and cocktails are available.
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.
