Jazz Kitchen Patio
Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays
Jazz Kitchen
5377 College Avenue
21+, free, 6:30 - 9:30 PM
The Jazz Kitchen hosts music on the patio every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (weather permitting). The same wonderful Jazz Kitchen dinner and drinks are available on the patio.
Tuesdays feature Red Hot Whiskey Sippers, a New Orleans-tinged band, featuring members of the greatly-missed band, Dog Talk - Bill Lancton (guitar), Jim Litchfield (bass), Michael Beck (crazy percussion), and trombonist Rich Dole bring their funk / jazz groove to the great outdoors.
The Wednesday lineup alternates weekly between the duo of Scott Ballantine & Andra Faye and Tim Brickley. Scott & Andra (June 15, June 29, July 13, 2016, etc.) play and eclectic set of rootsy original and cover tunes. Singer/songwriter Tim Brickey (June 22, July 6, July 20, 2016, etc.) plays his original music and hosts Troubadour Night featuring local musicians on his first Wednesday of the month.
Thursdays are all about Latin music performed by the new band, Amalgama Musica.





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.
