Hop Along Open for SOLD OUT Yoni Wolf Shows at FUC Chapel April 16

Tonight Hop Along will be playing back to back shows inside the intimate chapel of the First Unitarian Church with Why? frontman Yoni Wolf. In fact, she is playing back to back to back shows, with a third show added on Sunday after the first two sold like hot cakes. Frontwoman Frances Quinlan’s manic and delicate voice will be especially entrancing in this resonant space. Unfortunately, Hop Along had to cancel their SXSW tour this year due to financial difficulties, but with a new album set to be released by the end of the year, we will hopefully be seeing Quinlan and Co. around more and more. Hop Along has been filled out in recent years with Frances’ brother Mark on Drums and Tyler Long on Bass along with Dominic Angellela lending a hand on guitar when he isn’t playing a show with one of the 50 other bands that he is in. With the hushed feel of the chapel we may see a toned down version of Hop Along, but regardless it is definitely worth getting there early for. All three shows are super sold out so your best bet might be to bribe the R5 door guys with some tasty treats.
