Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle
posted: Aug. 17, 2018
Hello lovelies! There will only be three more days of the Indiana State Fair by the time this hits the stands. There is still plenty of time to explore all the Fair has to offer. Here's what's happening beyond the Fairgrounds.
SausageFest
Friday, August 17 & Saturday, August 18, 2018
Saint Thomas Aquinas Church Grounds
4600 N. Illinois St.
all-ages, free, 5:30 pm - midnight
SausageFest is so much more than sausage. There is beer, great music, kids activities, a teen concert, and games.
Friday night music includes: The Fabulous Sausage Kings, DRB, The Midtown Mad Men, and crowd favorite Streaker.
Saturday night music includes: Gideon Wainwright & The Constitution, Dugan Brothers Band, Lani and The Tramps, and Meat Monster.
Saffire Revisited - The Uppity Blues Women
Friday, August 17, 2018
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N. College Ave.
21+, $20 - 30, doors 9:00, show 9:30
Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women were a well-known touring trio performing from 1984 to 2009. I was lucky enough to see them at the Music Mill in 2006. And our whole city is lucky that Andra Faye now calls Indianapolis her home.
The band is: Andra Faye (vocals, bass, mandolin, violin, guitar), Gaye Adegbalola (vocals, guitar), and Kelley Hunt (piano, vocals).
Saffire's music was a combination of serious blues and novelty songs, often focused on feminist themes, making them popular outside the traditional blues circle - myself for instance.
Matthew Aaron
Thursday, August 30, 2018
Alley Cat Lounge
6267 Carrollton Ave.
21+, free, $9
Matthew Aaron is a Renascence man and one of the most interesting people that I know - and I know a lot of people. He's a wonderful photographer, artist, collector of "murderabilia" (art work and such from convicted murderers), and musician. You may have seen Matthew perform with the band Endinana.
He'll be playing a solo acoustic set featuring songs from the road. I'm looking forward to it.
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.
