San Fermine performs during last year's Boomtown Ball & Festival in downtown New Albany. This year's event will take place Sunday, May 24, on Market Street. | File photo

At last year’s inaugural Boomtown Ball & Festival in New Albany, home-town-band-turned-stars-on-the-brink Houndmouth capped the event with a spirited performance at The Grand.

While Houndmouth — knee-deep in a national tour — won’t make a stop at Sunday’s encore Boomtown, the band will

be there in spirit.Houndmouth curated the music lineup, which

includes West Coast-based original artist Lang-horne Slim, rootsy Apache Relay, Nashville-based The Features, musical conglomerate Big Big and Southern Indiana favorites The Hart Strings,

among others.The event, which serves as the kickoff to New

Albany’s Bicentennial Park Concert Series, will again feature the Flea Off Market to assist with the booth component of the festival. Flea Off Market is a unique outdoor bazaar that will fea-ture both regional and local New Albany vendors offering records, books, antiques, vintage items, fine arts and crafts and more.

Big props to the city of New Albany and WFPK for sponsoring Boomtown. The inaugural event attracted a strong crowd and offers a fun alterna-tive for the Memorial Day weekend.

Maybe Houndmouth will return for the third go 'round.

SELLERSBURG — Barn Lot features dealers from multiple states and will include furniture, primitives, farm tools, estate jewelry, quilts, prints and paintings, books and other treasures, according to a Barn Lot news release.

The event will also feature chair caning demonstrations by County Chair Weaving. Food will be served by the Boy Scout Venture Crew 4027, which will be raising funds for its activities. Venture Crew annually visits na-tional parks and other locations to learn about activities such as camping, sailing, kayaking and more.

Also, a local gentleman who is cleaning out his barn will offer his antique hand and farm tool collection.

“Folks come and spend some time shopping, socializing and enjoying the day,” said organiz-er Betsy Jones. “This is a quality antique show that is growing each year. We’re please to offer this antique experience and judging by the size of last year’s crowd, they enjoy it as well.”

NEW ALBANY — Free music from locally and nationally known acts on an outdoor stage, lots of food, and an open-air bazaar take over the streets as the Boomtown Ball & Festival

returns to downtown New Albany on SundayAlthough last year’s inaugural Boomtown Ball

headliner — New Albany’s own Houndmouth — will not be performing this year, the band curated the show, selecting the musicians.

“It’s a huge honor for us to curate Boomtown Festival,” said Katie Toupin of Houndmouth. “We feel so lucky that we can spotlight a few of the bands that we love and bring them to our home-town. The goal is to bring our families, friends and music fans into New Albany for the day and en-courage the growth of the town that we call home.

“Last year was a blast and it is something we will look forward to every year.”

Formed in 2011, Houndmouth was named by Internet music-streaming service Spotify as a top band poised for breakout in 2015. Its new album “Little Neon Limelight” was released in March, a follow-up to their 2013 debut, “From the Hills Below the City.”

The band has performed on David Letterman, Conan, CBS This Morning and toured with Ala-bama Shakes, the Lumineers and others.

“This is where we come from and we are proud of it. It has shaped who we are as people and we want to give anything back that we can,” said Houndmouth’s Matt Myers. “So, we got ahold of some friends [bands] that we admire and asked them to come down and play music in our city.”

The Hart Strings are scheduled to take the stage at 2 p.m. Originally from Georgetown but now settled in Nashville, Tenn., the group is in the midst of its 13-state summer tour.

“We’re mostly indie rock now, but we haven’t forgotten where we started with the folk influ-ences,” said Ted Hartog who handles banjo, guitar, keyboard, percussion and vocals for the band.

When he saw that Houndmouth was curating a show for New Albany, Hartog said he immediately emailed the band and asked to be included.

“I thought I’d try, just the same way we book

our tours. It worked,” he said. “It’s one of those moments that doesn’t happen much in the music business.”

Hartog said that events such as the Boomtown Ball motivate new, aspiring artists.

“I think you realize that all you need is a stage and sort of a demand for your music. Then it’s not far off,” he said. “As a tiny local band getting to play with these people, you really think, ‘Oh yeah, the music industry is not just in Nashville or New York.’”

Other performers at the Boomtown Ball include punk-folk singer songwriter Langhorne Slim, indie rock act The Features, Big Big, Louisville rapper

Jalin Roze and Lazy Sunday. The evening closes with a set from The Apache

Relay at 9 p.m. The group has opened for Mum-ford and Sons and has played a number of music festivals including Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festi-val and Voodoo Music Experience.

Myers said one of the things he most appreci-ates about the Boomtown Ball is that it is an all-ages show.

“There are not a lot of opportunities for kids un-der 18 to see live music these days because venues just don’t allow it,” he said. “It’s a shame because live music was extremely impactful on me as a young man. Teen years can be strange, but there

is something perfectly fitting about seeing a band play loud music you connect with. So, I’m beside myself that we could make Boomtown an all-ages event.”

Along with Houndmouth, the Boomtown Ball & Festival is presented by Mayor Jeff Gahan, the city of New Albany, and 91.9 WFPK.

Last year’s Boomtown Ball featured an outdoor stage for most of the day, with the music moving indoors to The Grand for a ticketed show from Houndmouth to cap off the night. This year the event stays outdoors and free, mingling with the

Flea Off Market, with about 100 vendors expected to participate, spreading out from the intersection of Market and Bank streets.

Gates open at 1 p.m. and the music kicks off at 1:30.

“We’re really looking forward to great mu-sic from around the country with recognizable bands,” said Gahan. “We’re expecting a great crowd to come out and enjoy the music and the Flea Off Market.”

The Flea Off Market is an outdoor bazaar typi-cally held the first weekend of each month in the East Market District in Louisville on an empty lot at 1007 E. Jefferson St. near the Phoenix Hill, Butchertown and Nulu neighborhoods. The market draws an eclectic set of vendors, with guests likely to stumble upon a variety of items including books, records, bicycles, antiques, repurposed items, used tools, jewelry, clothing, live plants and fine art.

“We specialize in bringing a flea market meets arts and crafts fair feeling,” said Nathan Erickson,

co-organizer of Flea Off Market. “We’ll have lots of books and records, antiques and vintage stuff.”

In addition to local and regional vendors, any brick-and-mortar business in downtown New Al-bany was invited to erect a free 10-foot by 10-foot booth. All other vendors pay a fee.

Food vendors were also arranged by Flea Off Market, which hosts a number of food trucks at its monthly meets.

“The city is handling cocktails and beer,” Erick-son said.

“Last year’s event was great. I think everybody involved had a pretty great time,” Erickson said. “I think if we get decent weather it’s going to be great. You’ve got several national acts that are performing a free show.”

The Boomtown Ball kicks off the free Bicenten-nial Park Summer Concert Series held on Friday nights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. all summer long. For the summer series concert schedule, visit cityof-newalbany.com

SOIn PLayLIStWebsite: blackfridayrocksBand Members: Lucas Kasse,

14, eighth grade, Silver Creek Middle School: lead singer, rhythm guitar; Chase Wil-liams, 15, ninth grade, Silver Creek High School: drummer, vocals; Andrew Embry, 15, ninth grade, Silver Creek High School: lead guitar; Cooper Hennesy, 13, seventh grade, River Valley Middle School: keys, vocals; Jack Giltner, 13, seventh grade, New Washing-ton Middle/High School: bass, vocals.

How did the band form/what is origin of name? Black Friday was started in July 2011 by longtime friends Lucas Kasse and Chase Williams. Lu-cas had spent some time with a different band and Chase was taking drum lessons at a different music facility. Decid-ing that they wanted to be together, Lucas left the other band and Chase moved to Mom’s School of Music and Black Friday was born. Coo-per, Andrew and Jack were added through Mom’s School

of Music (where we continue working with a band coach). Our favorite color was black and our favorite day of the week is Friday, Hence, Black Friday. It’s that boring and that simple.

Please describe your sound: We’d describe our sound as classic hair band rock ‘n’ roll with a splash of blues and country mixed in.

Who are your inspirations? With five members, we’ve had a wide variety of influ-ences and inspirations. On a local level, we’ve been most influenced (and encouraged) by The Louisville Crashers, our coaches and instructors at Mom’s School of Music in Jeffersonville, including owner Mark Maxwell, and The Sum-

mers (a band of brothers that were formed through Mom’s School of Music). Seeing people we actually know on a personal level make a living doing what they love is life-changing. It let us know that we can do the same.

What are your goals? It is our goal to be an all-original rock ‘n’ roll band (with some blues and country influences thrown in). We have recorded our first original at Jetlag Stu-dios in Jeffersonville and it will be released in the next month or so. We have three more Black Friday originals ready for the studio (with several more in the “writing process”).

What do you make of the local music scene? The live music audiences that we’ve performed for have been incredibly supportive and ac-cepting. Our fans have a great appreciation for not only the music itself, but also for the hard work they know we put into it. We believe their sup-port will continue as we add more and more original music.

JEFFERSONVILLE —A group of Jeffersonvillefirefighters have returnedfrom helping out with Hur-ricane Sandy recovery andsaid help there is ongoing.

Jeffersonville Fire De-partment Maj. Michael Mc-Cutcheon, Maj. TravisSharp and Capt. RickVanGilder spent nearly twoweeks in Long Beach,N.Y., organizing relief ef-forts for the city of more

than 30,000 people follow-ing the October hurricane.

The work was more pa-per-filing than pulling peo-ple from homes, but theirservices were greatly need-ed as the entire four-milelong island had been cov-ered by water during thesurging storm.

JFD Chief Eric Hedricksaid the need for relief serv-ices — after initial crewsconduct search and rescueefforts — are often under-estimated.

“After immediate re-sponse to save lives, thereare still efforts needed formonths and months,”Hedrick said.
