Anywhere The Needle Drops
Music and art is all around us. Join Justin Flagel for conversations with the musicians, artists, and creative people making things happen here in Michiana and beyond. Tales from the growing local scene will highlight the creators, venues, and events. Performers from the regional and national scene will stop by to visit. Big or small, learn about who they are, what they’re making, and what drives them as creators and as people.

Michiana's Rebel Noire is in the house!

The frontwoman of rebel noire and the accomplices visits the Red Chuck Studio to talk about the band’s juicy concoctions of rock, soul, blues, R&B, and jazz.

We discuss the revelations both personal & creative that come out of challenging times, gush over the local music & art scene, and discover the varied ways that people play Uno.
