Hillbilly Frolic sets up in the Sidebar for an early 5:30 pm hit, spinning old-time string band energy into a breezy happy hour. Fiddle tunes, ragtime shuffles, and a little western swing keep the room loose, with harmonies and toe-tap tempos that pair nicely with a plate from next door. It is Chicago roots music played with easy charm, tight picking, and zero pretense.
