Buzzing Around Town

Hello dear readers. I hope you're not suffering from cabin fever. Even though Punxsutawney Phil predicted an early spring, I'm not buying it. Read on for some great events to help stave off the winter doldrums.

Meghan Cristeen Martin

Books & Brews Broad Ripple
6420 Cornell Ave - all-ages, free, 8 - 10 pm
I had the great pleasure of hearing Meghan Cristeen Martin play at last month's Lou Harry Gets Real podcast taping. I was able to grab a copy of her new EP that is just fabulous. And it was a in hand-sewn case. In fact it was so pretty that I purchased two.
I was right to judge the album by its cover. The EP is chock full of wonderful songs. Her vocals are just gorgeous, her songwriting is beautiful. The record waves a soft hand towards country, folk, and honky tonk. She's a heart-breaker - in a good way. - and she has earned her comparison to Emmylou Harris.
The self-titled album is her second. It was funded in part by Fourth Sunday Music Co., an Indianapolis non-profit that provides free recording time and support to local talent. How great is that?


DJ Rusty Redenbacher
Saturday, February 23, 2019
TikiTiki Lounge
1001 Broad Ripple Ave - 21+. free. 10 pm - 1 am
What a great evening this promises to be! The multi-talented (and one of my favorite people) Rusty Redenbacher will wearing his DJ hat - and earphones. The TikiTiki Lounge promises exotic - and delicious sounding - cocktails in a funky/swanky space.
Rusty is a great musician, which leads to him being a great DJ. And just looking at the drink menu made me a little tipsy - there are some yummy drinks offered.


Kids Day with Mr. Daniel
Sunday, February 25, 2019
Indy CD & Vinyl
806 Broad Ripple Ave - all-ages, free, 4 - 5 pm
I imagine that Indy CD & Vinyl will be on cuteness overload during the Mr. Daniel show. Bring the kiddos to dance while you shop for music. Perfect, right?
