We are thrilled to welcome Jake Speed & The Freddies to The Brightside on Friday, June 5th in our SideDoor room! This fantastic Cincinnati-based band plays a mix of traditional & original folk, country blues, & ragtime tunes. Known as the Woody Guthrie of Cincinnati, Jake Speed uses a traditional folksy delivery to compose timely and timeless songs that tell great stories with a bit of a lyrical edge. The band, built out of guitar, mandolin, fiddle, tenor guitar and upright bass (with hints of harmonica, kazoo, and washboard), has been hailed by CityBeat magazine as a “…a fixture of Cincinnati’s traditional Folk scene” since releasing its first of five albums, Queen City Rag, in 2002.
