The Philadelphia band Hop Along started out with a folk sound back in 2004, when singer-songwriter Frances Quinlan began recording during her senior year of high school. Hop Along took on more of a rock edge in 2008 with the addition of her brother on drums; the group later added bassist Tyler Long and guitarist Joe Reinhardt.
As part of World Cafe's Sense Of Place: Philadelphia series, Hop Along performs songs from its new album, Painted Shut.
