The Freight Hoppers Concert History

"The Freight Hoppers high energy performances made a permanent mark on the old-time music scene from the mid to late 90’s. Based in Bryson City , North Carolina , this Rounder Records act topped the bluegrass charts with their first release Where'd You Come From, Where'd You Go. The band took a hiatus when fiddle player David Bass had to have a heart transplant, but that was not before they left lasting impressions on the festival and club circuit along with major media appearances such as A Prairie Home Companion.
