#SongwritersCircle

the Irving Theater welcomes featuring Joe Martyn Ricke (Huntington) Katherine Nagy (Indianapolis) Kelee Smyth (Indianapolis) Marissa Dooley (Indianapolis) 8:00p / doors 7:30p  |  free ($5 suggested) Joe Martyn Ricke is a native Texan poet, singer, songwriter, actor, writer, director, and raconteur, in the tradition of native Texas poets, singers, songwriters, actors, writers, directors and raconteurs. His compelling, poetic songs leave audiences thinking and feeling but rarely sleeping.  A song like “Divine Electricity” leaves some folks thinking--“what the hell did I just listen to?”  And a song like “Beautiful Eyes” leaves folks feeling that the world is full of some incredible ultimate delight which, unfortunately, might be just out of reach but is still worth singing/howling about anyway(s).  When the flow is right, his songs provoke both feelings at the same time. One fellow songwriter says that Joe’s song “Little Clarissa” is “the saddest song ever written.” Taking that as both a compliment and a challenge, Joe is working hard to wrap up the entire t0p (or bottom) ten saddest songs as well.     Katherine Nagy is a songwriter and singer and currently lives in Indianapolis.  She has lived in many places including Ireland, Puerto Rico, Spain, Chicago, Seattle and more.  She has been greatly influenced by the music from these life experiences and enjoys incorporating eclectic styles and sounds into her lyrics and arrangements. Over the years she has played the piano, the flute and the guitar, but her instrument of choice has always been her voice.  She has been involved in choral groups, musical theatre and classical voice training from childhood through college and beyond. After graduating from Saint Mary's College with a business degree, she started working as a consultant.  She also began writing lyrics and music during this time and performing in Chicago at open mics.  She took a pause from songwriting and performing as she started a family with her husband.  However, she has recently decided to pick up the pen, paper and guitar again and has started writing some new music.     Next Songwriter's Circle - Friday October 26.
