Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Buzzing Around Town

Happy Decoration Day! It's time to dust off the white shoes and launch into summer. There are gobs of great things to do this time of year - ignore the yard work one evening and enjoy the neighborhood. Of course, I may be a little too good at ignoring the lawn mower...

The Jazz Kitchen Patio
Mondays - Thursdays
5377 N. College Avenue - 21+, free, times vary
Another sure sign of summer is that the music is flowing on The Jazz Kitchen patio.
Mondays: Jazz JAM Session. You can bring your own horn to join the jam or to listen. 7 - 10 pm, burger and beer specials.
Tuesdays: New Orleans Nights with The Red Hot Whiskey Sippers and a Louisiana Shrimp Boil. Music starts at 6:00
Wednesdays: Andra Faye and Scott Ballantine will kick off the rotation on May 23. Tim Brickley Troubadour will take over the patio on May 30. The rotation continues from there.
Thursdays: Bembe Latin Band performs from 6:30 - 9:30. There will also be food and cocktail specials.


Comfort Jam 2018
Saturday, June 9, 2018
The American Legion Post #34 - Robert Kennington Post
2210 E. 54th Street - all ages, noon - 7 pm, $5
All of the money collected at the door will go directly to The America Legion's Operation Comfort Warriors for comfort items, experiences, or assistance towards the recovery of veterans. I'm sure there will also be plenty of other ways to donate money throughout the day. The music lineup is great and includes: Jus'ta Band, Andra Faye & Scott Ballantine, 3:1, The Raven Brothers, By Chance Band, John Barney and The Passengers, El Rusho, and Naptown Revue.


Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam - The Music of Cole Porter
Tuesday, June 12, 2018
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N. College Avenue - 21+, doors 5, show 6 - 8, $25
The duo of writer Dan Wakefield and saxophonist Sophie Faught make up the Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam. They take the audience on a creative journey with Dan and Sophie though stories and music.
This installment will include special guest Cathy Day, an author who is currently writing a novel on the great Indiana composer, Cole Porter. As always, Sophie and her band will perform great jazz standards and a musical nod to Cole Porter. "Uncle" Dan will do his masterful job of interviewing Cathy and telling stories connecting his vast experiences to many Hoosier greats.





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.
