Buzzing Around Town - by Nora Spitznogle

Buzzing Around Town

Hello sugarplums! I hope you're all having a merry and peaceful holiday season. I saw gobs of lovely music in 2018 and look forward to hearing more in the new year. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy 2019.

Weihnachtskonzert (Christmas concert)
Indianapolis Liederkranz
Sunday, December 16, 2018
1417 E. Washington St. - all-ages, two shows: 2 and 5pm, $10 with special pricing for ages 12 and under
I drive by the Indianapolis Liederkranz building on the way to work (Second Helpings) every morning and wonder what delightful things happen in that building. I finally remembered to look it up and found some delightful sounding events.
They have been holding a Christmas concert for years and added some features this year. The shows will include performances by the Bell Choir, the Brass Band, storytellers, small ensembles, the men's choir and Damenchor.
Light snacks, coffee and hot chocolate will be provided after the matinée performance. Drinks will also be available for purchase at the bar.
They suggest purchasing tickets in advance via the website, indyliederkranz.org. You may also call 317-443-4341 to make reservations.
Frohe Weihnachten!


Red Key Christmas Carol Sing-Along
Monday, December 17, 2018 (6:30 - 9:00)
Monday, December 24, 2018 (5:30 - 7:00)
Red Key Tavern
5170 N. College Ave. - 21+, free
Toast the Christmas season with a good old-fashioned sing-along. Join members of the Settle family and the Red Key family around the piano where singing along is encouraged, although I'll admit to being a champion lip sync-er.
Note that on Christmas Eve the kitchen will be closed and the bar will close at 7:30.


Holiday Sing-Along featuring Wendy Reed
Wednesday, December 19, 2018
The Jazz Kitchen
5377 N. College Ave. - 21+, doors 5:00, show 7:00, $5 - 10
If you've never met Wendy Reed, you're missing out on some fabulous music and a sleigh-full of fun. Wendy will lead the audience in holiday songs with a jazzy bent and a dash of bawdy.
As of press time it looks like the main room tickets are sold out, but there are still tickets in the lounge side. Don't worry, Wendy's voice is big enough to reach back there.


New Year's Eve
There are gobs of things to do in the Broad Ripple area this New Year's Eve from early family friendly events to 21+ fun. Have fun whatever you do - I'll see you next year!





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.
