Flatwater Restaraunt Broad Ripple
The Flatwater is located in the heart of Broad Ripple on the canal. It is a "Best of Indy" pick for several reasons. First of all, location. It is really on the canal and they have a tiki bar outside. A first for Broad Ripple and Indianapolis. They have live music and I get to see my favorite blues band 78 RPM there on a fairly regular basis. They also have other blues acts like Tad Robinson singing with the Jeff Chapin trio. Wow. Blues on the canal! It don't get no better than this ...wait! Yes it does! The food is excellent and the staff is pleasant too. No cover adds to the coolness factor of this must see place.

Zakk Knight Blues Prodigy
See this young man! If you like Robert Johnson or Stevie Ray Vaughan, see this young man. If you like guitar playing ala Freddie King, see this young man. If you like the blues ... you know what to do! This guy is going places fast! He has already won a national blues award for kickin' butt on the guitar down in Memphis and you would be well advised to catch him while you can. He could be in Europe next week for all this Zombie knows. He's on his way! Zakk Knight, that's Right!

78 rpm
Allen Stratyner (harmonica king of Indianapolis) and Vince Mullin (slide guitar) formed a surprising little trio with drummer
Tim Duffy who has been an Indianapolis mainstay time keeper for what seems like forever. They don't even have a bass player! But they don't seem to need one either. This is a real house rockin' band and if you like the blues done right, see this group! 78 RPM is real house rockin' blues! Listen to "Tell Me Pretty Baby" or Elmore James' "Shake Your Money Maker"
