Indianapolis Songwriter's Cafe

Deep Cricket Night is a four cornered, pearly moonlight serenade unfurled headlong into dawn with Beggars Banquet in your ride, Townes Van Zandt at your side, and an original melodic moan comprised of Lance Drake (gtr/vocals), Joseph Werner (percussion/drums/vocals), Ciaran Cooper (percussion/drums), Philip Alley (guitar/mandolin/vocals), and Aaron Spelbring (bass/dobro/lap steel). Musically, they build their unique electric-acoustic sound with an instrumentation highlighted by the melodic lead guitar playing of Phil Alley and the lead vocal-lyrical strength of the band's primary songwriter, Lance Drake. The eclectic rhythm section of Joey Werner, Ciaran Cooper, and Aaron Spelbring round out the band's ability to bring it stripped down or amped up. Deep Cricket Night is a versatile band that can play any kind of venue or event and do so with a more stripped down sound and line up or with the full band. They mix indie rock, alt country, and Americana into a cohesive style all their own. They are a band that plays regionally and is working to expand their base throughout the Midwest further.

The Bears of Blue River are friends with day jobs who gather in the eve to make silly noises in a dilapidated old apartment with wooden floors.
 

The Weakest Suit is focused on writing and recording songs...a lot of songs. Most of these songs are written to fulfill the requirements of different songwriting competitions. This provides the extra push necessary to complete the songs. Between FAWM, Song Fight!, 50/90, The RPM Challenge, and Album-A-Day, The Weakest Suit has recorded over 200 songs since 2007. Recently, Chris has adapted some of his favorites into a live acoustic show and hopes to eventually form a small band.
