Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Edie Carey at the Indy Folk Series
Saturday, February 17, 2018
615 W. 43rd Street (Unitarian Universalist Church)
all-ages, 7 pm (doors 6:15), $20
I was reading through Edie Carey's impressive bio and started giggling when I read, "Carey has been singing at festivals, colleges, and listening rooms across the US, Canada and Europe since 1999, performing alongside Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Brandi Carlile, and Shawn Mullins, and has been a featured artist on NPR's Mountain Stage." I can't believe they forgot to list CATH coffeehouse!
Edie was one of my favorite musicians to play at the coffeehouse and sleep on my sofa. The warmth and grace and poetry of her songs are all reflections of herself. She was part of a group of New York City singer-songwriters that toured the country by car and were kind enough to make CATH coffeehouse a stop. I have fond memories of Edie singing her beautiful songs as I stood behind the pastry case. One of her shows coincided with the day that a long-time boyfriend unceremoniously ended our relationship. I kept it together (at least in my mind) long enough to make it through the show. Edie was kind enough that evening to sit on my sofa and hold my hand as I sobbed.
Since those touring coffeehouses and sleeping on sofa days, Edie has found the audience she deserves. And you should go hear her.
Never Come Downs Album Release Show
Saturday, February 17, 2018
Black Circle Brewing
2201 E. 46th Street - 21+, 8 pm, $6
One of the fun things (and there are many) about writing this column is that I occasionally get to hear a record before it is released to the public. I got to give Never Come Downs' first album Abyss a virtual spin in anticipation of their release show.
The band; Mike Contreras (guitar, voice), Devin Kearns (guitar, voice), Monique Valah (bass), and Chris Cockrill (drums) formed in 2016 and after a few lineup changes have found their dream pop voice. The four musicians create a big sound with ethereal vocals swirling about.
Bands Ward 6 and Stranger Attractor will also be playing.
Black Circle Brewing is a small batch craft brewer. They offer their beers along side other local beers. Food is always available via Elena Ruz Cuban Cuisine.
The Alley Cat Acoustic w/ Matthew Aaron & Russell Johnson Jr.
Thursday, February 22, 2018
Alley Cat Lounge
6267 Carrollton Avenue - 21+, 8 - 11 pm
What a wonderful evening this will be! I'm sure you know both Matthew Aaron (Endiana) and Russell Johnson Jr. (Last Four, Mudkids, Birdmen of Alcatraz) from their many successful musical endeavors. Or even by their nicknames: Dirty Matt and Rusty Redenbacher. Either way, you'll enjoy the intimate peek into their music and process.
Katherine Nagy & Friends
Saturday, February 24, 2018
Aristocrat Pub and Restaurant
5212 N. College Avenue - all-ages, 9 - 11 pm, $5
Katherine Nagy - the Gypsy Lady - will be playing songs from her two recent recordings, some of her new songs, and familiar classics. Katherine has lived all around the world - Puerto Rico, Seattle, Ireland, Chicago, and Spain. Her original songs are influenced by the music of those places and her love of folk.
She has lived in many places including Ireland, Puerto Rico, Spain, Seattle, Chicago, Indianapolis and more. Her melodies are influenced by the beautiful music from these cultures as well as her love of folk. Her lyrics are sincere and authentic, often reflecting on love, life struggles, pursuing dreams and finding hope.
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.
