Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle
posted: Sept. 18, 2015
Autumn is in the air - at least as I type, I think the heat returns soon - and I'm looking forward to several annual events. Read on for details on the Broad Ripple Fall Gallery Tour, Pints for Half-Pints, Strugglers Reunion show, and a new event - Midtown Art Fair. I'll see you out and about!

Various venues
free, all-ages, 5:00 - 9:00 PM
Dozens of Broad Ripple galleries, shops, and restaurants will be open late and featuring artists and their work. Here is a small sampling of what on tap. Speaking of on tap, don't forget to visit the restaurant sponsor for the evening, The Corner Wine Bar, including The Wellington, and the Wine Cellar.
Ashland Gallery

Strugglers Reunion Show 2015
Sunday, October 4, 2015
The Rivera Club
5640 N Illinois St. - all-ages, 6:00 - 9:00 PM, $10
The Strugglers are holding their annual reunion show at The Rivera Club this year. There is plentiful parking and gobs of table seating, and a dance floor.
The Strugglers are an iconic American roots band that started in 1969, performing a mixture of country, blues and jazz - some members claim that Sam Bush learned "new grass" from them. Eventually the band became the house band at the Hummingbird Cafe. Stanley Smith, the band's lead singer, moved to Austin Texas in the late 1980s and has forged a wonderful career with the Asylum Street Spankers and his own band, The Jazz Pharoahs.
To celebrate Stanley's visit to Indianapolis, the band is reuniting for this special show. Jack Clarke, Dave Langfitt, Joe Langfitt, Kevin Hughey, and Scott Ballantine round out the lineup.
There will be a cash bar and a Mexican buffet ($12.50) available. Reservations are not accepted, but the doors will open at 5:00 if you'd like to stakeout your favorite vantage point.
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.
