Edie Carey *Chicago $12 cover
w/Nicole Reynolds *PA.
With her warm, graceful voice and her knack for cutting "into a subject...with a diamond-edged blade**," Edie Carey grabs hold of her audiences and doesn't let go until she steps off the stage. While her songs are what first draw listeners in, it's what she says in between that keeps them coming back. Carey's wry and self-mocking humor, coupled with her ability to tell a great story, makes audiences feel as though they have just spent the evening with a very close friend. Given the triple threat of her magnetic stage presence, heart-grabbing songs, and almost unearthly voice, it's no wonder that the word about Carey is traveling fast. Performing Songwriter called her latest release, When I Was Made, "a lovely, shimmering, heart-felt record"; Harp Magazine proclaimed it "bare of self-pity and full of down-to-earth revelation"; Paste declared it "vulnerable and pleasing...rich with humanity and insight," and Country Music Weekly gave it "****(four stars)." Since beginning her rigorous touring schedule in 1999, Carey has performed in rooms such as The Bottom Line and Bowery Ballroom in New York City, The Fillmore in San Francisco, Boston's Somerville Theatre and Club Passim, The Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, Nashville's Bluebird Cafe, Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles, The Opera House in Toronto, and The Borderline in London. She has also played repeat performances at The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, The Southern Womyn's Festival, The Houston Women's Festival, and Chicago's Edgewater Days and Market Days. She has shared the stage with artists as varied as Leo Kottke, Ani DiFranco, Jonatha Brooke, Lucy Kaplansky, Patty Larkin, and Sandra Bernhard, and has toured extensively with Melissa Ferrick. Carey's latest recording, When I Was Made, was produced by Evan Brubaker (Holly Figueroa, David LaMotte) and Troy Glessner at Spectre Studios in Tacoma, WA. Featuring acclaimed Seattle-based musicians Jonathan Kingham, Skip Peri, Dan Tyack, and Julie Wolf (Ani DiFranco), When I Was Made was released in January 2004. Edie's previous albums, Come Close, Call Me Home, and The Falling Places were released to critical acclaim in 2002, 2000, and 1998, respectively. **WUMB-FM, Boston

wyep 91.3 top local artist of year NICOLE REYNOLDS unordinary mine
Singer-songwriter Nicole Reynolds’ third album is full of clever lyrics that are even more compelling thanks to Reynolds’ vocal delivery. Her fragile yet striking vocals have helped to build her reputation as an artist not to be missed. Reynolds is a tiny individual with a big presentation that’ll knock you right out. Just ask the packed crowd that she wowed at last August’s Third Thursday (WYEP’s local music happy hour) where she sold out of her new CD. CH

Jenn Cristy *Bloomington, IN $5 cover
w/TBA
Singer/songwriter Jenn Cristy launched into the music scene in 2003, wowing listeners from the start with an old-school rock 'n roll style with a decidedly contemporary flair.

Indpls. IN. | Hey all . I have some unfortunate news to share. Boulevard Place Cafe has closed it's doors, which makes me very sad. Yet another victim of these economic times. We had so many great shows there and I have so many fond memories. Bob has been a great friend to all of us, by offering his space and providing some of the best cooking around ! He hopes maybe sometime in the future, BPC will reemerge in some form. But as it stands now, the cafe has pulled it's window shades down for the last time.
If anyone would like me to pass along any thanks, thoughts etc., email them to me and I will be sure Bob gets them. I know he would really appreciate it !
Rest assured, I will continue to seek out other music friendly places, be creative and think of new and/or improved ways to bring you some of the best independent music around !

BEST PLACE TO HEAR LIVE
ACOUSTIC MUSIC
"The best place to hear acoustic can’t typically be a bar, unless everyone is committed to being very quiet while sipping away. Boulevard Place Café hosts shows booked by Segment of Society and Indianapolis Songwriters Café in an ideal listening room, with only the clink of forks to distract." Thanks NUVO ! ~Robin
