  • Indiana Public Radio's 10th Annual "Hometown Family Christmas" 7:30pm to 12:42pm @ Emens Auditorium

    Indiana Public Radio will be sponsoring its 10th annual “Hometown Family Christmas” on December 8. The show is set to take place in Emens Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. The show will feature America’s Hometown Band as well as the internationally acclaimed Ball State University Singers and a special performance by the nationally recognized Royerton Elementary Children’s Choir, directed by Janice Morris. The concert will also include an opening by AHB’s jazz band directed by Dr. Phillip Cooley.

     

    America’s Hometown Band’s jazz band plans on performing what Cooley described as “some real up-tempo, toe-tapping version of Christmas music.” These include a rendition of “Jingle Bells” featuring bass trombonist Will Frazier, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “The Christmas Song,” more commonly known as “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.”

     

    The concert band plans on playing a festive medley of pieces as well. Some selections include “Sleigh Ride” by Leroy Anderson and “O Holy Night” which will feature vocal soloist Diana Guinn. Other selections include "A Most Wonderful Christmas" by Robert Sheldon, "A Showstoppin' Christmas" by Chris Sharp, and "Gloria" by Randol Bass.

     

    The Christmas show will also feature special Christmas greetings from Ball State athletes, President Jo Ann Gora, and Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler.

    This episode:

    Steven and the Savvy - "Steven Dunn started playing music when he took his first piano lesson in kindergarten. After many years, and forgetting most of his piano lessons, Steven has finally made his own impact on the music scene. An avid songwriter, he developed a unique and personal style sliding apart from the indie standard of fashion and song style. Starting as a solo artist in December of 2009, a band started forming midway through 2010, Steven and the Savvy was born. They have been featured in Nashville, Chicago, Indianapolis, and their hometown of Bloomington, IN. As a group they draw their inspiration from friends and family, and ultimately from all the beautiful life around them. So, come check out their shows and maybe you’ll inspire their next song."

    Hawk and Dove - 6-piece psychedelic folk country rock.

  • The Scene @ the Cup: Ep 7 - BGPJ & The StereoFidelics 7pm to 12:42pm @ The Cup 1606 W. University Ave

    Every Thursday at The Cup, a recent episode of "The Scene" from Indiana Public Radio will be played. "The Scene" highlights the best live local music from Central Indiana. Swing by, have a great cup of coffee, and enjoy some rad tunes!

    This episode:

    BGPJ - Two-piece blues/rock band from Marion, IN.

    The StereoFidelics - "Imagine you’re back in time enjoying the groove and virtuosity of 70’s art-rock band, then hurled decades forward, colliding with the energy and intensity of today’s indie rock scene. There’s unexpectedly powerful jazzy female vocals intertwined with a strong, satin-smooth male voice. Thumping synth basslines and popping, funky drumbeats drive the skillfully intricate guitar playing and explosions of electric violin string-shredding. Reflecting their influences of past and present (including Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, the Talking Heads, Arcade Fire, and the White Stripes), the StereoFidelics avoid performing with loops, computers, and digital effects in favor of the more organic approach of using Moog Taurus pedals, scat vocal solos, and multi-instrumentalism. You see, the fast-fingered guitar player (Chris Padgett) keeps the basslines pounding through a one-octave floor keyboard, the tiny female vocalist (Melissa McGinley) is also the drummer; he sings too, and she plays violin. They perform with a natural passion and synchronicity that not only dispels any association with the herky-jerky one-man-band cliché, but post-performance, leaves their audience sympathetically exhausted and dripping with sweat."

    Molehill - "Since 2009 Molehill has had over 150 performances throughout the Midwest and East Coast and along the way has opened for major and indie label acts Bret Michaels, Blind Melon, Royal Bliss, The Elms, and Jesse Malin. In 2010-12 Molehill showcased at the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA and was featured twice in the Red Eye (Chicago Tribune Pop Publication) along with features in numerous local print and online publications. 2011 continued with tours throughout the midwest and east coast and an invitation to perform at CBS Studio Chicago where they received high praise from a celebrity panel including owner of the Metro (Chicago) Joe Shanahan, US99 Morning Show Host Lisa Dent and Chicago R&B stalwart Frayne Lewis.On March 6th, 2012 Molehill’s new album ‘Equinox’ was released. The release was coupled with a sold out show in Chicago. ‘Equinox’ was produced by Manny Sanchez and Molehill."

    Late Nite Reading - "Surfacing from suburbia Indiana, pop-punk band Late Nite Reading is quickly climbing up the industry ladder and doesn’t show signs of slowing down. After two EP releases and ready for a third, the band has done nothing but spread their name and tour non-stop throughout 2012 & 2013. For being a band just out of high school, they have already shared the stage with an impressive roster of bands such as All Time Low, Cartel, The Summer Set, and Taking Back Sunday."
