Cataracts Music Festival and Fountain Square Grand Prix

For all the music lovers in Indy, there is a great event going on this weekend. Friday and Saturday will feature a wide assortment of local and national bands playing two separate music events in Fountain Square. Friday’s music is being sponsored by the Fountain Square Grand Prix, which will occur on Saturday. The music will be at an outdoor stage just south of the Murphy Building. Friday’s music lineup is as follows:

1:00- Organ Grinder
2:00- Beer
3:00- Bed
4:00- Hammer Screwdriver

8:00- Oreo Jones
9:00- Pravada
10:00- Margot & The Nuclear So & So’s

Saturday’s event is the 2nd annual Cataracts Music Festival. It’s billed as a glorified block party. I have to say I’ve never been to a block party with anywhere near the quality of music scheduled. All the performances will be at house shows along Morris Street just to the south of the Murphy. The overall music theme leans towards modern psychedelic rock. There are a number of regional and national bands in addition to the local bands. Check out Saturday’s schedule below:
