Courthouse Annex by Pat Sides

0

The building on the left is the former Courthouse annex that once stood at Fourth and Vine streets, next to the old Vanderburgh County jail and on the site of Evansville’s first graveyard.

Although the spire had been removed years earlier, there is still evidence that the annex was once a church, most notably the upper windows, which were originally three tall stained glass panels. Dedicated in 1867 by the German Methodist Episcopal Church, anti-German sentiment in World War I prompted a name change to Fourth Street Methodist Episcopal Church in 1917.

The congregation merged with another church in 1937, and the city renovated the building for use as an annex. After the Civic Center opened in 1969, the annex was vacated and razed four years later.

POSTMODERN JUKEBOX ANNOUNCE BACK IN BLACK & WHITE TOUR

0

 

VICTORY THEATRE – OCTOBER 21 – 8 PM
Join Victory Theatre on October 21st so you don’t miss this epic performance by the one and only

Postmodern Jukebox. Tickets go on sale Friday, April 6 at 10 AM.

Postmodern Jukebox is back…. Back in Black & White! The band’s non-stop throwback carnival is on the road again with their Back in Black & White Tour, kicking off this fall. PMJ has always been about using modern media to turn back the clock to a time we always imagine in shades of black and white — simpler, more carefree, without so many mind- boggling devices and distractions, every one streaming in hi-def at any hour of the day! Of course, live entertainment was always live and in vibrant color, so PMJ offers fans the best of both worlds.

PMJ shows bring a full band of gifted musicians, with a cast of favorite singers and tons of surprises, to a city near you. As any PMJ fan can tell you, the experience is never the same twice, with new songs and shifting combinations of members giving a unique twist to every show. PMJ looks forward to bringing their unique spin on modern pop hits and retro pop stylings to new cities for the first time, while revisiting favorite haunts that feel more like home each time around.

The multi-talented collective reimagines contemporary pop, rock and R&B hits in the style of various yesteryears, from swing to doo-wop, ragtime to Motown – or, as creator Scott Bradlee himself puts it, “pop music in a time machine.”

Started by Bradlee in 2009, PMJ has gone on to amass more than 950 million YouTube views with 3.3 million subscribers,

and have chalked up more than 1.5 million likes on Facebook. The band has performed on “Good Morning America,”

topped iTunes and Billboard charts, caught the attention of NPR Music and NBC News, and played hundreds of shows to

sold-out houses around the world.

For those who only know PMJ from their time-warping videos, the live show is an experience on a whole other level. It’s

a Roaring 20s party that would make the Great Gatsby proud, mixed with a swinging 60s night with the Rat Pack, spiced

up with a little Motor City soul and some classic sock hop rockin’ that gets the audiences twisting or twerking the night

away – depending on what era their mood is in. A Postmodern Jukebox tour is a unique blend of talents and personalities

that makes for a show that’s always entertaining and consistently fresh and exciting.

  Women’s Basketball honored for free throw shooting prowess

                                                             Purple Aces recognized at Women’s Final Four
 After a strong season at the charity stripe, the University of Evansville women’s basketball team was recognized at the Women’s Final Four in Columbus, Ohio on Friday night as the NCAA statistical champion for free-throw shooting percentage.

The Purple Aces led the nation, knocking-down 82.0% of their attempts from the free throw line. With the mark, Evansville set both its program record and the Missouri Valley Conference record for free-throw percentage by a team in a single season.

For their efforts, the Aces were recognized in an on-court ceremony during Friday night’s NCAA Women’s Final Four contests.

Along with leading the nation in free throw shooting percentage, Evansville also boasted  seven student-athletes who finished the season shooting above 80% from the charity stripe, led by junior Kerri Gasper who hit a team-best 92.3% of her attempts at the free throw line this season.
