Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle
posted: Nov. 09, 2018
I am thankful for you, dear Gazette readers. I hope you're able to enjoy the neighborhood and all it has to offer over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Tiny Tonic
Saturday, November 10, 2018
Second Helpings
1121 Southeastern Ave - all-ages, 10:30 - noon, free
While the Tonic Ball benefiting Second Helpings (where I work, in case you didn't know) is sold out already, we've got room for the kiddos at Tiny Tonic.
Scott Rudicel, the guy behind the musical fun of Ruditoonz, will be entertaining the children and their adult people with his special stylings of the music of the featured Tonic Ball acts. You can expect to hear songs from Pearl Jam, Elton John, Johnny Cash, Beyonce, and Abba.
The event is free. Boxes of elbow macaroni and spaghetti noodles are always appreciated.

Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band
Friday, November 23, 2018
The Vogue
6259 N. College Ave - 21+, doors at 8:00, show 9:00, $15
Seeing Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band play the day after Thanksgiving is a beloved holiday tradition. If you're not familiar with the band, now is the perfect time to witness them in all of their home-state glory.
Many of us have tried to describe the energy and sound produced by the trio - guitar, washboard, bucket - I don't think any of us have nailed it yet. Barn-burning blues, controlled frenzy, and finger-style playing sort of describe them. "Big Damn Fun," is the best I can do.
Josh and Breezy Peyton live in southern Indiana when they're not on the road - and they're on the road the majority of the year. They're bringing Split Rail, a band from their neck of the woods, to open the show.
I was lucky enough to play typewriter in an all-women jug band that the Peyton's generously invited to play in the 2010 Vogue post-Thanksgiving show. What a great evening that was!
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.
