I’m gonna be honest with you: When my editor requested I write a story about a country music minister, I was less than thrilled with the assignment. I’ve never really had an interest in country music, and I’ve also been estranged from any sort of religion for over 10 years. But as soon as I …
Late last summer, the guys in And Away They Go (or ‘Glass Halo’ as they were known back then) brought us ‘Indy Meets Windy,’ an event showcasing talent from both Indianapolis and Chicago.

As a part of the Super Bowl free concert series being offered, Cox and his band warmed up football fans when they took over the Verizon Stage on Georgia St. To make things even …
