Freddy's Old Time Jam, Circa 2010

For the past seven years the Strung Out String Band has organized an old time jam at Freddy’s Bar in Park Slope, Brooklyn. We’ve loved every minute of the banjo banging, fiddle dripping, murder ballad swilling good times. Unfortunately, as I’m sure you know, Freddy’s is finally slated for Ratner’s wrecking ball. No more old time jams at Freddy’s. No more Freddy’s.

But wait! There is hope yet…

The non-sleeping, video editing, music loving management of Freddy’s has vowed to reopen. The exact location for this resurrection is unknown but we will do our best to bring Old Timey tunes to Freddy’s the Sequel as soon as we can.

Keep those bows rosined and the banjos tuned. We’ll be back.
