Buzzing Around Town

Happy December and all of the celebrations the month brings - Hanukkah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Years Eve. No matter how you celebrate there is plenty of music and merriment to be found. Cheers!
The Leisure Kings
Saturday, December 2, 2017
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N. College Ave - 21+, doors 5 pm, shows 7:30 & 10 pm, $15-35
Before you read further, stop and buy tickets to this show, as it's sure to sell out. If you don't love it, swing into the Red Key after the show - I'm waitressing that night - and I'll buy you a drink. If you love it, feel free to pop in also.
Billed as the "R Rated" Big Band Show, the evening promises to be jingle-jam packed with laughs and music. The talented duo behind the comedy and songwriting is Mike Wiltrout and Sean Baker. They have been playing together since 2002 and continue to surprise their followers with their clever lyrics and special effects. Underneath the merriment are two very talented musicians. Enjoy an evening of merriment and good cheer!


Fourth and Final Anniversary Party
Friday, December 8, 2017
PRINTtEXT
652 E. 52ND St - all-ages, 6 - 9 pm, free
First, let us celebrate the four glorious years that this independent periodical shop was open! Jenneane and Benjamin Blevins are closing the retail space to pursue their creative studio projects full time. I can't wait to see what this creative, community-minded couple does next.
They are celebrating with pie, punch, people, and periodicals and releasing an uber-limited broadsheet to mark the occasion.


An Evening with Hooshir, IU Hillel's A-Capella Group
Saturday, December 9, 2017
Arthur M. Glick JCC
6701 Hoover Rd - all-ages, 7-9 pm, $36 - 90
This sounds like an amazing evening of beautiful music. Hooshir ("Shir" in hebrew means song) is Indiana University's premier a-capella group. The students are from different walks of campus life - music, business, education, and geoscience are just a few of the many degrees being pursued by the talented men and women of Hooshir.
Hooshir performs a mix of Jewish music, secular Israeli and American pop music, and standards. Their repertoire ranges from current pop artists such as Lady Gaga and Beyonce to popular Israeli artists.


Riffing w/Rusty

Black Circle Brewing Co.
2201 E. 46th St - 21+, 8 pm, free
I am never disappointed when I see Russel Johnson, Jr., whether he is performing or we are chatting on the sidewalk. I am also looking forward to visiting Black Circle Brewing Co. They have been hosting a bunch of shows and I'm sorry that I haven't visited yet.
Rusty will take over the tunes and in the process is sure to take us through the breadth of his vast knowledge of musical history. Good cheer is promised!





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.
