Converted from paper version of the Broad Ripple Gazette (v15n22)
Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle
posted: Oct. 26, 2018
Whoa! This is my 13th anniversary of writing for the wonderful Broad Ripple Gazette; column #328 if you're keeping score. Much to editor, Alan Hague's, chagrin it's probably the 307th one that I've turned in late.
So many great things have happened as a direct result of my association with this paper. I've met many of you wonderful readers, heard hundreds of talented bands, attended art shows and book launches, and have kept up on what is happening around town. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have left the house nearly as much without the gentle shove of this column. Thanks to Alan and the freedom he's given me to write pretty much whatever I please, I now freelance for NUVO newsweekly and Ghettoblaster Magazine.
Did you know that you can find a treasure trove of archived articles and photographs on www.broadripplegazette.com? I look forward to the next 13 years - if Alan will have me.
Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam
Wednesday, October 31, 2018
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 College Ave - 21+, doors 6, show 6:30 - 8:30, $25
This edition of the Uncle Dan Wakefield and Sophie Faught Jam will focus on mentors. In fact, you can win cool stuff (including two tickets to the show) by writing about one of your real-life mentors. Rush to Dan's website and submit your short essay by October 29, 2018.
And let us reflect on how lucky are we to have Dan living in our neighborhood and generously sharing his time with us. I had dinner with him last week and I had to keep myself from jumping on the bench and telling everyone in Sangrita Saloon about Dan and his impressive body of work. His published books span almost 60 years and he shows no sign of slowing down. Did you know that he created the prime time series (1977-78) James at 16? Or that his novel, Going All the Way, was nominated for a National Book Award?
Dan and Sophie will be talking about their mentors and will be joined by composer, piano player, by mentor to many, Steve Allee. All-star drummer, Kenny Phelps, rounds out the band.
This will be the last Uncle Dan and Sophie Jam for a few months. Sophie is expecting another sweet baby soon, so make sure to catch this one.
I'll see you there!
Lou Harry Gets Real
Sunday, November 11, 2018
The Aristocrat Pub - Oxford Room
5212 N. College Ave - all-ages, doors 5, show 6 - 8, $15
Lou Harry is on a mission - to provide coverage about Indianapolis' great arts scene. He's helping do that with a podcast series highlighting theater, visual arts, music, and comedy. I've attend the first two and they're entertaining and informative.
November's episode features two people that cover a big swath of arts in Indiana - Tim Grimm and Jan Lucas-Grimm.
Tim is one of my favorite singer-songwriters. He was kind enough to play at CATH coffeehouse a few times - I was beside myself with glee. He was also a big-time L.A. film and television actor, who now shares his talents with the IRT, both as an actor and composer. Jan Lucas-Grimm is also an actress, musician, and author. If that's not enough, they have raised and nurtured two wildly talented musician sons.
This promises to be a fun evening of stories and music. Visit Lou's website to listen to the previous podcasts and for more information about attending the live taping.
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.
