THE FREIGHT HOPPERS
"There are certain string bands that everyone looks to in setting the bar high for musicianship, performance and showmanship and The Freight Hoppers deliver the goods. Their infectious high energy and bracing, uncompromising sound is what I look for in a band. I know their loyal and patient fan base including myself is glad they're back and we're very excited about seeing them perform again." - Jim Roe
Those "patient fans" who had the pleasure to see the fabled Freight Hoppers perform from 1992 to the band's lay-up will certainly know what a sight and sound it is to witness the infectious groove of fiddle and banjo combination driven by David Bass and Frank Lee. These guys set a new benchmark on the circuit back in the mid 90s. When the band took a rest, in 2002 when they last performed together, many wondered if that hallmark sound would be heard again. Yes, they are back and here on Take12Radio.com.
