Mieka Pauley was a CATH favorite, "her voice ranges from haunting, delicate beauty to an explosion of shattering, soaring soul. Her lyrics bloom from a place of uncompromising honesty and raw emotion, aimed straight for the heart. At just 23, Mieka Pauley's songs are wise way beyond her years. Her roots are the blues, classic soul and R&B, rock and folk, and the result is a sound that blends and transcends these genres into a personal brand of pop music that is uniquely her own.
Billboard Magazine and the Boston Globe have compared her to everything from "a young Sarah McLachlan" to "Aretha in the husky vocal turns". But anyone who's seen her agrees on one thing: with a history of launching great artists such as Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, and Tracy Chapman, the clubs of Cambridge and streets of Harvard Square have once again produced the next unmistakable voice of a new generation."
Thanks to Robin Coleman who has found a home for many of the "CATH refugees". Lazy Daze is a new venue--please support them in their efforts to bring live original music to Indianapolis.

Enjoy the terrific music of Hal Gerard while shopping at the lovely and spacious Broad Ripple Farmers Market. I met Hal when he performed at the Midwest Music Summit last year. He was easily one of the best to play CATH. Throw some money in his hat and buy his CD, you won't regret it!
lll. 54th and Monon Art Fair
Saturday, June 18th
10-4:30
This free art fair is always fun. Lots of great local and regional art and complimentary hot dogs and lemonade. You'll find me at the MKNA booth selling our great new coffee table book highlighting the architecture of Meridian-Kessler and Home Tour tickets. I'm extra excited...this is the first year since the fair started that I'm not covered in poison ivy. Was that too much information?
Stop by and visit Funhouse Records. It's a terrific place chock-full of records, CD's and guitar goodness.
As always, thanks for supporting independent music and art!

Independent Music + Arts Frestival
Hello Intelligent and Discerning Folks,
It's officially festival season...kicked off by the Independent Music and Arts Festival this Saturday at the lovely Harrison Center.
Ray Mills has the well deserved reputation of putting together the best lineup of independent musicians each year. And he's done it again.
CATH Inc/Queen Bee Music is proud to be part of the 2005 IMAF (okay...Ray did all of the work). Some CATH favorites are playing.
I'm expecting Seth Horan to walk through my front door at any moment now. For those of you keeping track, Seth holds the record for sleeping on my sofa...ten nights in a row; February 2003. Oh yeah, and he's a kick ass bass player/singer/songwriter. Yep, you read that right.
There is also a terrific group of artists that will be displaying their genius. Be sure and check out the work of Kipp Normand and Kyle Ragsdale.
Click on the link for the skinny; I'll see you there!

Music in the Round
Hello Peonies,
I'm experiencing my first short 'holiday week'. And I'm all confused about what day it is. I've always worked on the restaurant business, and seemed to work extra when everyone else was off. I sure enjoyed sitting on my porch on Monday and reading until my eyes hurt.
Anyway...this Friday, just two short days away, four great touring songwriters (two from NYC and two from Chicago) will gather on the Harrison Center Underground stage for a music in the round. This is a great way to see music. The musician trade songs, often playing with each other for impromptu jams...as 'jammy' as acoustic music gets!
l. Friday 6/3-Harrison Center, 9:00-Mercy Driver

Songwriters in the Round
9:00 pm
Harrison Center Underground
As you know the Harrison Center for the Arts loves a theme (as I do) for their gallery shows. The topic of this show is oncology on canvas, expressions of a Woman's Cancer Journey. For those of you who don't know the CATH Inc story, this show embraces the spirit of Cathy Peachey. Cathy who founded CATH over twenty years ago died of breast cancer in 1996. Cathy put a face on breast cancer. The Cathy Peachey foundation has raised over 1.4 million dollars that has gone directly to IU Cancer Center for research. I hope you'll go see the Harrison Gallery show, and head to the Underground to hear the music after.
Mercy Driver is made up of four musicians, the core of who met at CATH last summer during the Midwest Music Summit. Jeremiah Birnbaum, Shelley Miller, Dave Golden and Kara Kulpa will trade songs and stories. It's really cool--I promise!

Richard Thompson
Hello Sunshine,
The great folks at the Music Mill have offered me two tickets to give away for the Richard Thompson show! Just send me a short e-mail about why you're the biggest Richard Thompson fan, and the most compelling will win. Please send your e-mail by noon on Sunday, May 22.
Here's the skinny...
Richard Thompson
w/ special guest Greg Trooper
Tuesday, May 24
Doors @ 7:30pm
Show @ 8:30pm
Tickets: $20 advance, $23 DOS
Available at www.themusicmillvenue.com
I've seen Richard twice before and both times it was amazing. I've included a review. I couldn't have said it better (and I've spent the last forty-five minutes trying to!).
Richard Thompson is revered by his peers, the press and a tight group of intensely devoted fans. After that last caveat, you may think Thompson is some sort of underground sensation, but he's as above-ground as it gets--how many underground performers have sold more than 15 million albums? A consummate singer/songwriter/guitarist, Thompson began his musical career with Fairport Convention in the late '60s and hasn't looked back. He and his wife, Linda, recorded six albums together during the '70s and early '80s before they divorced in 1982. Thompson's voice is immediately recognizable, and stars from Elvis Costello to Bob Mould sing the praises of this incredible performer.
The Crowd
Folk-rock fans and connoisseurs of intelligent songwriting. (of course we are!)
I'll see you at the show!

Good Morning Raindrops,
This will be the perfect evening to spend in the cozy Indy Hostel to hear four amazing musicians. And it's an early show for those of us that are adjusting to working every morning!

If you've never been to a house concert this is the absolutely best way to see music. It's like having the musicians playing on your sofa. Mary Lee Pappas from NUVO describes the Hostel and the Whiskey Breath Travelers much better than I can. Read her review below.
I'll see you tonight!

Whiskey Breath Travelers (Mary Lee Pappas)
The WhiskeyBreath Travelers are an interchangeable collective of New York based musicians who hit the open road performing each other’s songs like it’s the only thing they want and know how to do. It’s a rotating cast, so there’s an element of surprise with variations on familiar songs and an element of improv that matches the mood.
Decisions are made in the moment like who gets to play what
instrument during what song and what song should be done next, all without skipping a beat and all done to enhance the performance. It’s a unique, soulful, thoughtful, musical venture.
This incarnation of the Whiskey Breath Travelers features two new
faces not seen or heard last March at their Radio Radio and Indy
Hostel shows. John Oszajca and Tom Rhodes join this NYC East Village ensemble of mix-and-match singer-songwriters for a whopping three performances this week. Liz Clark and Rick Royale are two faces that Start your flow chart! Gone for the moment are WB cast member and co-founder, Alex Lowry, who performed at Radio Radio last Saturday Indianapolis with singer-songwriter pals he met at the Midwest Music Summit last year Dave Golden, Shelley Miller and Kara Kulpa on May 31 at Vic’s Acoustic Café for an 8 p.m. show and again on June 3 at the Harrison Center for the Arts “Underground” QueenBee Music Series; and Tessa Perry.
It would be remiss to miss out on seeing these WB team musicians who
are stand-alone talents with their own individual musical careers,
albums and/or bands back home. Tonight, WB will be opening for Bob
Schneider and Band at Music Mill at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7p.m. and
tickets are $16. Thursday, May 12, 8 p.m. they will be offering an
all ages show at Indy Hostel (www.indyhostel.us), an intimate, homey, venue where a true sense of their talent and sentiment, of both craft and delivery, can be assessed and enjoyed. And, you hang out with them too boot. Advance sale tickets are $8 and available by visiting www.WhiskeyBreath.com. Tickets are $10 at show. Saturday, May 14, they open for local piano-rocker Jon McLaughlin at Radio Radio. Tickets are $5 at the door.

Tad Armstrong and Jason Harrod
Good Morning Sweetpeas,
A great night of music this Friday at the Harrison Center Underground.
(check out this David Lindquist piece on out of the way venues--music venues prove themselves worthy).
Tad Armstrong
Jason Harrod
Friday, May 6th
9:00
Harrison Center Underground
1505 N. Delaware
free, all ages, smoke-free
As you all know, TAD ARMSTRONG is on my short list (really short--four) of favorite singer/songwriters. His songs are intelligent, thoughtful and clever. And his voice is amazing. You should never miss a chance to hear Tad perform.
North Carolina's Jason Harrod draws from the best traditions of American music to create a sound all his own. He sings in a rich, brooding tenor underscored by his inventive guitar work. He sings about lost love, found joys, and spiritual longing.
Please come to the Harrison early and check out the art show. All of the art is priced at $100. A terrific and inexpensive way to add to your art collection.
After Tad and Jason...and only after the music ends you can go see ArtvsArt in Fountian Square (you'll get there just in time for the exciting part!)
