It’s springtime in Cincinnati! The Reds are on the radio, Easter lilies are poking through the snow, and the fine folks at the Whispering Beard Folk Festival have filled the Southgate House Revival with the soothing sounds of the Summer to come.

This year Short & Co. showed us their southern rock soaked chops, Bones Jugs took us back to a street party in a 1920’s cartoon, Krystal Peterson and the Queen City Band set the stage on fire, and Beardo HOF legends Frontier Folk Nebraska brought it home with some guitar driven rock.

Held the last weekend of August in Friendship, Indiana, The Whispering Beard is preparing to announce the 2018 lineup. Weekend passes start at just $60 and are available now!


Taste of the Beard was held at The Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY on March 31, 2018.
