CINCINNATI, OH — The William Frances Theatre (6819 Vine St.) is proud to announce a historic partnership for its premier weekly event. Starting April 8th, 2026, the theater will host The Wednesday Reset, a sophisticated Happy Hour experience curated by the titans of regional airwaves: Butch Gibson and Fredd E Redd.
Moving away from the standard club atmosphere, The Wednesday Reset provides Cincinnati with a cultivated midweek sanctuary. This isn’t a party; it is a musical revival. These "seasoned veterans" of 90s and 2000s radio—names synonymous with Cincinnati’s music history—will dig deep into their crates. They will spin the Soul, NeoSoul, R&B, and Hip Hop B-sides and rare grooves that haven't been heard on airwaves in decades. The experience is elevated by the William Frances’ upscale hospitality, featuring artisanal small plates and expert mixology. The inaugural event will also serve as a tribute to the #MyHiddenFigures honorees, celebrating local icons who have shaped Cincinnati’s culture.
When: Every Wednesday, starting April 8th, 2026 Time: 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Where: 6819 Vine St, Cincinnati, OH 45216
Butch Gibson
With over four decades defining the sound of regional radio, Butch Gibson is more than a DJ; he is a musical historian. Dominating the airwaves during the "Golden Era" of the late 80s, the 90s and 2000s, Gibson’s style is defined by unmatched technical skill and an uncanny ability to curate a vibe. Known for breaking tracks that went on to become classics, at The Wednesday Reset, he steps away from the current Billboard charts and Spotify playlists to focus on the deep-dive: the B-sides and the raw Soul that shaped a generation.
Fredd E Redd
A staple of the Cincinnati, Ohio radio dial, Fredd E Redd has built a reputation for sophisticated curation. Specializing in the eclectic intersection of NeoSoul, R&B, and sophisticated Hip Hop, excels at creating soundtracks that prioritize experience and flow. Fredd E Redd’s deep understanding of the 90s/00s era ensures that every selection during The Wednesday Reset is intentional, nostalgic, and entirely unexpected.
