Local Features

Original music for a rather original music festival.

No big surprise where the yellow brick road leads, of course.

Yupa Phillips took this picture of one of the tulip fields while at Keukenhuof in the Netherlands.

Jaclyn Vanosdol is impressed with the harmony that already has made the annual SING! karaoke-style fundraiser a noteworthy success.

* The local and ever-popular Banister Family Bluegrass Band, shown here, will perform from 5 to 7 p,m. Friday at the Columbus Area Arts Council’s free Sixth Street Arts Alley Event and the closing reception for the 411 Gallery exhibition there at that downtown locale just off Washington Street. The exhibition is local artist Jes Miller’s work “If Morandi Painted My Knick Knacks … & Macro Explorations.” If you’ve been anywhere around here in the past 30 years, you know the Banisters’ energetic, toe-tapping tunes. And you’ll be richer if you acquaint yourself with Miller’s latest work. Information: artsinindiana.org.
