Featuring The Hoppin’ Boxcars (3pc), with Grizzly (guitar/vocals), Juggy (spoons & whistles), and Hubcap (dobro/vocals).

This live musical show is free to all PFS members, and potential members are welcome! Bring your friends and visit our membership table.

About the Artists:

Winners of the 2022 Philadelphia Bluegrass/Folk/Country Band of The Year’ award, The Hoppin Boxcars are a multi genre, bluegrass looking band of bearded HoBoes who broke into the scene in early 2016, like a freight train chugging on down the line. Their songs are nostalgic, flavorful, foot stompin’ original songs written by lead singer Grizzly, about the adventures of four HoBoes, their musical friends, their family, & their imaginary dog, Mojo, that only Ziggy, & his brother, Juggy, can hear. Their songs make you smile and sing along!

Jefferson Berry combines story telling in the Urban Folk tradition with the intricacies of JamBand and Roots instrumentation. Berry’s lyrics are informed by his years in corporate media followed by a dozen years teaching African American History, Economics and Government to inner-city Philadelphia high school students. Playing a variety of guitar styles, Berry’s projects bring a danceable style and contemporary point of view to Philadelphia’s local music scene. With the release of his fourth album in four years, this reputation is spreading nationally. Accompanying Berry will be long -time cohort and master mandolin player, Bud Burroughs.
