If you’re anybody in the local music scene, chances are you’ve come across Casey Friedman.
Like a local Zelig, Friedman — whose father owned Horn Trader Music, where many local musicians got their start — was the mastermind behind Inner State Studio, which produced such acts as The Reverb Brothers, as well as being the brains behind the Acoustic Oklahoma online series.But at the height of his success, he walked away from it all and went country, forming HonkyTonk StepChild with Local Honey fiddler Minna Biggs. The duo preferred to play their music on street corners rather than stages.
“What we are striving for is a joyful noise, a joyful sound,” Friedman said. “The StepChild in our name, it’s more about picking your feet up. It’s all about being a child and moving around and having fun. The idea behind HonkyTonk is that we’re kind of doing country, but it’s our own thing.”
