The Hoppin’ Boxcars have been on the scene for almost a decade and are revising their infamous “Dust Bowl Opera”, their musical play, featuring the multiple octave vocals of Matthew “Grizzly” Cicchetti, who writes and sings the songs, and his partner in crime, Michael “Ziggy” Carlton.
Expect guitars (Grizzly), mandolin (Ziggy), harmonicas (DotMan), bass (Ray “Haystax” Hoffman Jr), & spoons & whistles (by Steven “Juggy” Cornell), as we “Click It Tee Clack” down that ol’ railroad track with these musical HoBoes!
A staple at the Philadelphia Folk Festival having played 5x’s for them, including on their Martin Main stage in 2016, as well as many other great venues, & festivals, their music will have you on your feet..

********************************************************************
Jefferson Berry combines storytelling in the urban folk tradition with the intricacies of Jam Band 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. Symeer Woods (aka Lil Uzi Vert) and the late Rasheen Jones (aka Runup Rico) were among his students.
A cadre of unique players performs Jefferson’s songs: The Urban Acoustic Coalition. The virtuosity of Bud Burroughs and the harmonies of Theresa Ratliff anchor the band. While acoustic by nature, never missing is the locked-in bass/drums drive of Uncle Mike and Adam Stranburg. Complementing all this with a variety of guitar styles, Berry’s projects bring a danceable style and contemporary perspective to a unique wing of Philadelphia’s local music scene.
Harnessing legitimate uses of A.I., Jefferson’s music videos have been winning awards at film festivals as they support each album release. Twelve A.I. platforms are used to illustrate finished songs in a way that the technology is merely a tool directed by the song.
