From clarinet, to guitar, to piano, to bass, Derf Hopsecger has tried them all, although most people in town know him as a piano or bass player. Since his early teens, Derf has been playing live in bands such as The Image and Silverlight, and over the years he has turned into the go-to guy if you need a bass player in a pinch. Today he's still very active in music, and plays bass for the Fabulous Leftovers.
