    The Longest Johns

    Indianapolis · The Vogue, 6259 N College Ave

    The Longest Johns bring their rousing harmonies and high-energy take on maritime folk to The Vogue in Indianapolis. Known for breathing fresh life into sea shanties and traditional work songs, the Bristol-born trio blends time-honored sounds with a modern spirit. What began around a kitchen table grew into a global following powered by relentless touring, a lively online presence and a run of well-received releases. Their rendition of Wellerman turned into a TikTok sensation, fueling the ShantyTok wave and a broader revival of shanty singing. Their catalog balances preservation with bold ideas. The Pieces of Eight project delivered eight monthly EPs that concluded with their tenth album, and the fan-funded Voyage arrived with a companion book of original stories, artwork and lyrics, surpassing 7 million streams on Spotify. Across platforms they reach hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners and draw millions of plays each month. The latest album, Ends of the Earth, stretches their signature vocals into new territory, from tales of eighteenth century crime to creatures of the American wild. Expect rich harmonies, driving folk rock and a group pushing toward its limits. Proud digital natives and gamers, they debuted Face the World at the Pokémon Europe International Championships, teamed up with the Yogscast’s Jingle Jam and stream on their own LongestJohnsGaming channel. Touring has taken them across the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. The lineup features Jonathan ‘JD’ Darley, Andy Yates and Robbie Sattin.

    The Faint

    Indianapolis · Turntable, 6281 N College Ave

    The Faint take the stage at Turntable in Indianapolis with the synth-infused spirit that helped weave 80s textures into modern music. Founded in Omaha in the mid-1990s, the band has followed its own creative compass rather than trends, and each release since the 1998 debut Media marks another evolution. 1999’s Blank-Wave Arcade captured the urgency of a quick recording sprint, while 2004’s Wet From Birth took shape through a more deliberate process. With 2001’s Danse Macabre they chased the pulse of Berlin club nights from their Nebraska home, channeling that energy into their sound. Throughout, the musicians remain the constant, working together on a style they hold as uniquely their own.

    When Siblings Disagree: Coordinating Care Without Family Fallout

    Zionsville · Hussey-Mayfield Library Foundation, 250 N 5th St

    Siblings do not always see eye to eye, which can stall decisions and strain relationships, especially during the holidays. This session offers practical guidance for coordinating care for aging parents, sharing responsibilities in a fair way, and keeping parents’ needs at the heart of every decision. It also shows how proactive communication can make difficult conversations among adult children more constructive, reducing resentment and long term consequences. With holiday pressures often magnifying tension and leaving decisions unresolved, the discussion addresses how conflict can create legal and financial risk while providing caregiving education that supports confident next steps. Attendees leave with clear ways to divide tasks, a better grasp of the risks that come with ongoing disputes, and approaches that keep parents centered in the care plan.
