Sunday With The Friends: The Flipside

You’ve seen them around town, playing solo, duo and all together. The Flipside is like five bands in one. Their gentle harmonies and earnest dedication to music and community allow them to put a personal stamp on their repertoire of original songs, folk standards and classic rock. They will be performing at Lakewood Public Library Sunday with the Friends at 2 p.m. on December 11 in the Main Library Auditorium.

The Flipside is one of the best local folk acts around, according to Scene Magazine. Their songs are influenced by history and family, from the Civil War and Irish heritage to parenthood and the impact of a bad economy. Whether playing Joni Mitchell or a Flipside original, their sound has earned them a following around town.  Lakewoodites Mark Ronan and Jack Mizenko are excited to finally bring their sound to Lakewood Public Library. Speaking of his fellow band members, Ronan said, “I consider it an honor to be playing the songs of Beth Hyland and Bob Gibbons whom I consider to be truly talented and gifted songwriters.” Don’t miss your chance to listen to The Flipside in a fun, family-friendly atmosphere on Dec. 11.
