Music News

Hello Kittens!
Thanks to everyone who attended the fabulous Jason Wilber Hostel Concert. It was a roaring success. Look for more Queen Bee Music/Indy Hostel concerts in the future.
I want to update you on shows featuring CATH alumni.

Happy Listening!

I always credit Sam with bringing music to CATH. I've said "all roads lead to Sam Shaber" more times than can count. With good reason! I'm very happy that the Abbey is starting to host music and picking up some CATH refugees. Robin Coleman, another friend of CATH is booking these shows. Check out her website segmentofsociety.com. I'm looking forward to many more shows at the Abbey.
Sam will be back next week, Saturday, March 5th opening for the terrific Melissa Ferrick. The Music Mill - 317.841.1850 is a great new venue. Lots of parking, great food and drinks and nonsmoking. Wheee!

Speaking of all roads lead to Sam, she and Teddy are part of a group of NYC singer/songwriters. OutWord Bound Bookstore (outwordbound.com)
has started an amazing 'Music In The Stax series'. I hope you'll support Teddy and the bookstore. Oh, about Teddy...he's fabulously funny. He's known as much for his clever songs whether sensitive or comedic as for his energetic and unpredictable shows. You'll laugh, you'll cry!

Enjoy!

Jason Wilber

Hello Lovelies,

I hope everyone had a terrific Saint Valentine's Day. I think I might have a candy hangover!

The first ever Indy Hostel concert is this Friday. With the fabulous and amazing Jason Wilber.
Jason Wilber
8:00 p.m., Friday, February 18th
The Indy Hostel
4903 Winthrop Ave
$10 (includes snacks and beverages)
e-mail me for tickets Queenbeemusic@cs.com
or call 797.1696

As you all know, Jason is one of my absolute favorite musicians. A lifelong Indiana resident, Jason Wilber has performed all over the US and Europe, playing a variety of instruments while backing up notable folk, rock, and country artists Carrie Newcomer, Todd Snider, Hal Ketchum, Iris DeMent, and songwriting legend John Prine. His work with John Prine includes two Grammy nominated albums. An award-winning songwriter in his own right, Jason's songs have been recorded by artists in a wide variety of styles. His 1998 solo debut CD, Lost In Your Hometown earned rave reviews (and a permanent place in my CD player). The 2000 follow-up Behind the Midway also enjoyed widespread praise, earning a 4-star review in Music City's daily paper, The Nashville Tennessean.
His TV and radio appearances include Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Sessions At West 54th Street, Austin City Limits, Live with Regis and Kathy Lee, CNN’s Entertainment Week, and The Grand Ole Opry.

The Hostel is a small intimate venue. If you've never been to a house concert, this is a great way to really enjoy the music. Everyone is there to hear Jason, no bar chatter, smoke, or cappuccino machine noises.
I can't wait!

Queen Bee Music News

Queen Bee Music News

A lot has happened since the last music update. As you all know CATH at 54th Street closed this fall when we lost our lease (I hear the building is scheduled to be torn down this month, but we're not dwelling on that). The latest news is that we sold our stand at the City Market. The new owner Mike Batarseh is committed to serving the same great coffee and goodies that have made CATH a City Market staple for twenty-two years. I helped Mike with the transition, and now he's on his own. With me not being there anymore, I'm not entirely comfortable continuing to use the CATH name for my music endeavors. So, from now on the music news will come from the e-mail address queenbeenora@gmail.com
