The Side Bar
24 ½ East State St.
Athens, Ohio 45701
Free Early Show
The Free Range Pickers are heading to The Side Bar in Athens, Ohio. The Free Range pickers focus on classic Western Swing music, a blend of country, jazz, blues, and swing–aptly described as “jazz with a cowboy hat.” If you like the idea of country music with a jazz flair, you will enjoy the music of The Free Range Pickers. The 6-piece line-up features John Borchard on steel guitar with the twin fiddle sounds of Julia Farver and Mark Burhans. Chris Ridgway sings and picks the Telecaster, and Jonathan Sowers and Ken Dean hold down that solid rhythm and bass. More about the Free Range Pickers at /pickers/concerts.
The Side Bar has it all! It is a local, women-owned bar and restaurant featuring craft cocktails and delicious, eclectic food with a unique, cozy atmosphere. Check out their current menu options on Facebook at /profile.php?id=61557529441252 or on Instagram at /sidebarathens.
The Side Bar stands with Ohio University faculty!
Owned by an OU alum, their support speaks to the lasting connection people carry with them after they graduate. It shows up in the businesses people build and the choices they make about what to support.
That support matters, especially as Ohio University administrators continue to delay a fair contract that compensates faculty fairly and treats them with the respect them deserve.
Thank you for standing with us!
If your business or organization stands with faculty, join the campaign:
