Old Crow Medicine Show - Thursday evening

Hello Music Fans,
I'm excited about this show...These five young guys have been described as having "a driving feral energy." Maybe I can sneak my cat, who also has a driving feral energy in to the show. I have visions of Felix zipping around the stage...hummm, on second thought, maybe not.
OCMS is a punkified acoustic band. The play songs from some of the earliest traditions of American music--tunes from jug bands to Memphis blues. One of the members plays guitjo, a six string banjo that plays like a guitar. I can't wait to see that.
They have performed on Prairie Home Companion and at Bonnaroo in the last year--and I can't think of any other band that can span both audiences.

Old Crow Medicine Show
tonight, Thursday August 24
9:00 pm (sharp--no opening band)
$12

Hello Daisys!
The fabulous and famous Stasia Demos will be playing with David Allen this Saturday at the Broad Ripple Farmers Market.
The music starts at 9:00 (the market begins at 7:30).
A member of the former band Middletown, Stasia is a great singer and songwriter.
I'm looking forward to hearing her terrific song about Karl Thelig, "the Flower Man." Karl's daughter Helen continues his floral goodness with bouquets at the market.
See you there! I'll be the one on the blue bike with the wicker basket!

Indiana State Fair

Only a few more days to enjoy the State Fair.
I'm a State Fair junkie. I love the Pioneer Village and Machinery Field. My goal is to ride in the Tractor Parade...maybe next year.

Anne Heaton

Anne Heaton and Frank Marta are performing at Lazy Daze Coffeehouse in Irvington this Tuesday August 2nd at 7pm.

Anne and Frank were CATH favorites and their last appearance in Indianapolis earlier this year was standing room only.
I also want to thank and support Lazy Daze for starting to book original acoustic music.

Anne and Frank have been touring together for five years. They put on an energetic show combining Heaton’s compelling vocals, humor and understated keyboard style with Marta’s aggressive acoustic guitar rhythms, exceptional electric guitar lines and backing vocals.

They have also supported some of my favorite musicians such as Dan Bern, Melissa Ferric & Jonathan Brooke.

Lazy Daze is located in Historic Irvington at 10 S. Johnson Ave (East Washington & Ritter) (317) 353-0777. $10 suggested donation.

I’ll see you there!

Musician's Wanted

Hello Musicians and Music Lovers,
The Midwest Music Summit 2005 folks are looking to fill in some spots at the Indianapolis International Airport stage. There are openings available today (Wednesday), Thursday and Friday.
I think this is such a cool idea. The folks flying in to town for the NAMM conference will be greeted by great local music. And you get paid with an official MMS badge ($130 value). The badge gets you in to all of the music showcases, workshops and parties, on the shuttle bus and a goodie bag full of music goodness. The bus runs until 3:00 am each night (er, morning)--the best idea yet! No searching/or paying for parking.
Contact Jake to schedule an airport gig.

Wheee!

Hello Lovelies!
I'm taking the water conservation suggestion very seriously, but the lure of the sprinkler sure is tempting. I finally broke down Sunday and put the window air-conditioners in. Why didn't I do that sooner?
I'm very excited about the Irish band, The Prodigals on Saturday. I saw them in Cleveland in March, and it was well worth the drive. A friend of mine is bringing them to town, and we want to make sure they've got a great audience. It's a holiday weekend...you'll have an extra day to recover from the dancing and Guinness! And a special bonus, just for you...have dinner with the band. Come at 8:00, bring five bucks and picnic with the band.

The best description I've heard of this band...or of any band, come to think of it...is JIG PUNK . I was actually dancing...maybe 'cause I could bring out those old punk rock moves. These guys are very high energy and they put on a great show. And if you've got a special fascination with the accordion you can't miss this show. You can buy advance sale tickets at Future Shock and Borders downtown. I've also got a few tickets to sell, if you'd like to contact me.

opps, I've run out of time to tell you about the other shows...I've got an early meeting...Uggghh....
later!
