Happy July, fireflies! I've been enjoying standing in the middle of my yard at night watching the lightening bug concert - at least until the mosquitos steal the show.
Corey Feldman Angelic 2 Tour
Saturday, July 8, 2017
The Vogue Theater - 6259 N. College Avenue
21+, $20, 75 VIP Meet/Greet, doors 9 pm, show 10 pm
Corey Feldman was the literally the poster boy of a whole generation. He starred in seemingly all of the 1980s teen and coming-of-age films. He's on tour with his all-women band, The Angels.
Much as been written about Corey's shows - folks apparently love to bash on former teen-stars - all seem to agree that his performances are heartfelt and enthusiastic.
Indianapolis native, Andy D, will open the show. Andy D's performances are always a blast and his throw-back to 1980s vibe make him the perfect match for Corey Feldman.

Broad Ripple Park
1500 Broad Ripple Avenue - all-ages, free, 6:30 pm
Saxophonist Sean Imboden will bring the big jazz show to Broad Ripple Park. What a great evening this promises to be. I know that I don't spend nearly enough time in our wonderful park - this will be a great chance to remedy that.

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. Visit Nora's Web site
