2016 WWW.WHATZUP.COM FACEBOOK.COM/WHATZUPFORTWAYNE 2------www.whatzup.com------June 16, 2016 whatzup Volume 20, Number 44 t’s not often (okay, it’s nearly never) that we feature a sold-out event on our cover. After all, we’re all about what there is to do, not what you missed – or are going to miss. But we’re talking Ringo Starr here. A Beatle. One of the most iconicI performers of the past 100 or so years. Hell, yeah, we’re putting him on our cover. No, he didn’t deign to talk to us, but Steve Penhollow talked to a lot of other people about him, and the results are some mighty fine reading on page 4 of this issue. If you can’t make the All-Starr Band show on Tuesday, June 21, the next best thing may be James McCartney’s show at the Brass Rail two days later. Two things you’ll want to know about this show: (1) The Orange Opera open, and (2) while his music sensibilities may differ from his famous father’s, James sounds a whole lot like that other Beatle. You know, the cute one. You can read up a bit on James McCartney on page 11. And if you can’t squeeze into the Rail for that show, you might want to consider catch- ing one of comedian/actor Brian Posehn’s two shows at CS3 that same night. If you don’t recognize the name, you’ll certainly recognize the face. Read Deb Kennedy’s feature on page 6. There’s more. Like Make Music Day 2016 which Michele DeVinney writes about in her Fare Warning column on page 16. Or Buskerfest, which is bouncing back after last year’s rain out, on Saturday, June 25. Michele has details on page 5. And Michele also profiles All Fired Up, a brand new band with some very familiar players, on page 6. That’s a lot of stuff.
