Happy June! I hope you're all enjoying these summer days. As always, there is a wheelbarrow full of fun stuff to do. Read on for some suggestions.

Logan Street Sanctuary
1274 Logan St., Noblesville - all-ages, 7:30 PM, $10
I spent way too much time looking through old articles and CATHcoffeehouse calendars to try to remember when I saw Dave Ostrowski perform in Indianapolis. I think he played at the coffeehouse at some point and I remember enjoying his Americana singer-songwriter set.
I'm looking forward to seeing him again, this time at Logan Street Sanctuary, a venue that I've been meaning to visit. The venue is in an old church and has the intimate coffeehouse vibe.
Dave is from Buffalo, NY and we are lucky to have an Indiana stop on his summer tour. His last two recordings have spent a good chunk of time on the Folk and Roots Music charts. Listening to his music I'm reminded of his keen eye for observation and his introspective songs. It will be great to see Dave and his beat up - in a good way - guitar again.
Charlie Ballantine Trio at the Jazz Kitchen
Monday, June 15, 2015
Jazz Kitchen
5377 N College Ave - 21+, free, 7:00 - 10:00 PM
I'm telling you - go see Charlie Ballantine now, so you can brag to the rest of the world later that you saw him right after he released his first record. He's that good.
He will be playing original music from his brand new album Green as well as some arrangements to standards. The trio is: Charlie Ballantine (guitar), Conner Green (bass), and Mitch Shiner (drums).
Plan on having dinner at the Jazz Kitchen also. It's delicious!
Béla Fleck & Abigail Washburn

2015 Muncie Three Trails Music Series
Minnetrista campus
1200 N. Minnetrista Parkway, Muncie, IN
all-ages, free, 7:00 PM
It try not to write about events that are more than half an hour's drive from Broad Ripple - this one is worth breaking the rule for.
Béla Fleck (15-time Grammy winner) and Abigail Washburn (one of my musical crushes) will be performing a free concert to kick-off the Muncie Three-Trails Music Series. I checked the mileage and the show is 56.99 miles from my driveway, just a little over an hour away.
Béla is considered to be the best banjo player in the world and has been nominated in more Grammy categories (over 40!) than any other artist. - Classical, World, Pop, Country, Folk, Blues, and Jazz, Fleck has revolutionized the genre of banjo music by carrying it far beyond traditional Bluegrass. Abigail is also an incredible banjo player and just happens to be married to Béla.
I've been lucky enough to see Abigail play twice, and have been totally charmed both times.

As a duo, they have played New York's Carnegie Hall and Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and they're coming to Muncie for a free, outdoor concert.
Other 2015 Muncie Three Trails Music Series artists are bluegrassers The Steeldrivers, country music legend Junior Brown, and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Joe Louis Walker.
Full information about the Series and all 2015 artists can be found on the website.
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.
