Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Buzzing Around Town

Tis the season for holiday fun and perhaps a bit of shopping stress. The gift of music is always appreciated and we're lucky to have two independent record stores in our neighborhood. The staff at Indy CD & Vinyl (806 Broad Ripple Avenue) and LUNA music (5202 N. College Ave) are more than happy to help you pick out music or great equipment or other goodies for the folks on your list.

One Voice, One Guitar Finals
Friday, December 4, 2015
Birdy's Live
2131 E. 71st Street - 21+, doors 8:00 PM, $10
After weeks of competition the final singer/songwriters will take the stage one more time and the winner will be crowned. Well, I don't know if they get an actual crown, but they do get to take the Taylor guitar home that has been used for the competition.
I've enjoyed this series - the event is focused on the songs. Each performer has used the same guitar - no pedals, no band, no backup singers. And the audience has a voice - your vote counts.
The lineup is:
8:30 Eli Chastain, 9:10 Chad Mills, 9:50 A.J. Sandlin, 10:30 Emily Myren, 11:10 Jeff Kelly, 11:50 Henry French. There will also be a performance by last year's winner, Landon Keller.
I'll see you there!

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.
