Fountain Square Music This Weekend

So I just came inside from an ice storm. I'll leave that up to you as to whether it'll be deterrent enough to keep you inside this evening. Should you decide to venture out, though, I heartily recommend some of these options:

• Radio Radio helps celebrate Nuvo Newsweekly's 18th publishing anniversary with their "Barely Legal" bash, including performances from Beta Male and Hey Hey Melodica. It's free - arrive early. Saturday, the club showcases Sarah Grain, Tasha Jones and Teresa Reynolds as part of the Vagina Monologues afterparty.
• Sam's Saloon has The Roundups and the Bottoms Up Burlesque girls tonight and Jason Hathaway, Pat Flaherty, and Jethro Easyfields Saturday, and The Adam Faucett Band, William Blackart, and Will Stockwell Sunday night.
• Deano's Vino features all kinds of music Friday and Saturday, but I can never find a schedule.

I also want to give a heads-up on an event coming to Radio Radio next Friday that's pretty spectacular for a couple of reasons. First, there's the lineup from the press release:

Mudkids (hip-hop), Kate Lamont & Blueprintmusic (Americana), The Philosophy (hip-hop), Blackberry Jam featuring Jumbo Shrimp (funk/soul) and Sarah Grain (folk/jazz).

Second, there's the fact that it's a benefit for a new community radio station coming to the Zionsville/Indianapolis area. Even if broadcast radio is seeing a shrinking role in media these days, stations like this still play an important role in the community (and I'll write more next week - slammed for time right now).

So there you go. Have fun this weekend and stay un-frozen.
