John Barney and Junk Box Mike and the Melody Inn are hosting an evening of music to benefit the victims of the tornados in Southern Indiana. The lineup is seriously stellar, and the show is early enough to stop in on your way home from work.
5:30 – Chris Wolf. Chris’s music is clever, fun, and heartfelt. It’s always a pleasure to hear him play.
6:00 - Mojo Gumbo. Zydeco, Funk, Blues, and Cajun music mixed into one delicious band.
7:00 – Jeff Beyer. Guitar playing singer/songwriter.
7:30 – John Barney and The Passengers. County music at its finest.
8:30 – Luis-Miguel. I don’t know a darn thing about Luis-Miguel, but I’m looking forward to hearing him. 9:00 – Bit A Danger. Blues tinged rock, featuring the Red Key’s Jim Settle.
10:00 – John Bowyer. Acoustic singer/songwriter with a bit of country.
10:30 – Mad Wails. Not sure what “soul-rock” is? The Mad Wails will show you.

If you’ve never been to the Melody Inn, or haven’t visited in ages, this would be a good chance. The historic Melody Inn features the booths from the Teepee Restaurant and vintage video games – Ms. Packman, anyone?

What I great lineup! I’ve had a musical crush on Tim Grimm since the first time I heard him years ago. His shows at CATH coffeehouse were always standing room only. Tim might be the coolest guy I know. Not only has he toured and recorded with Rambin’ Jack Elliott, he’s appeared with Harrison Ford in Clear and Present Danger. His last five records have all reached the top of the Folk and the Americana charts.

Don’t worry, Cara Jean Marcy is the Cara Jean Wahlers we’ve all come to know and love – except she’s a newlywed. Not only is Cara a wonderful singer and songwriter, she’s a great storyteller. I hope we get to hear tales of her recent wedding and honeymoon.
Bill Price wanted to be a songwriter as soon as he heard the Beatles, and Bob Dylan. Bill does his influences proud – his original songs weave great stories and music together.
Evan Slusher is a university student with songwriter abilities that belie his young age. Hearing Evan is always a treat.
