Dugan Brothers Band
Saturday, January 20, 2018
The Aristocrat
5112 N. College Ave - all-ages, free, 8:00 - 11:00 PM
You might have noticed that The Aristocrat has stepped up their music game recently. This show is another example of the great talent that has been gracing The Aristocrat's stage.
The Dugan Brothers are made up of two Dugans - Paul (guitar, mandolin, vocals) and Joe (guitar) - and Tom Baker (bass, vocals) and Joe Noble (drums, percussion). I would describe their music as Americana with a dash of blues and a whole lot of fun.
Uncle Dan's Movie Night - Dan Wakefield with Steve Allee, Sophie Faught
Tuesday, January 30, 2018
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N. College Ave - 21+, doors 5:00, show 6:00, $18
This evening has it all: film, discussion, and music! New York in the Fifties, the documentary film based on Dan Wakefield's memoir and produced by Betsy Blankenbaker, will kick off the evening. The film features Joan Didion, James Baldwin, Gay Talese, David Amram, William F. Buckley, Norman Mailer, and Dan himself. After the viewing, Dan will discuss the movie and answer questions. Steve Allee, the jazz pianist/composer who wrote the music for the film, will be there in person to play songs from the movie, along with star saxophonist Sophie Faught.
I love the book and I'm anxious to see the film. The book was published in 1992, but I didn't read it until a couple of years ago. I so appreciate Dan's enthusiasm for his New York in the 1950s, and his sweet way of telling the stories. As an Indianapolis native, he really soaked in and appreciated his new town and everything it offered. Those were heady times in the big city.
How great is it that we get a chance to watch the movie with Dan, hear the music being played by the man who wrote it - Steve Allee, and enjoy the music of Sophie Faught?
The Jazz Kitchen is the perfect venue - I know I'll be pretending that I'm sitting in a jazz club in New York City with Dan in the 1950s.
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.
