David Uosikkinen thrilled his In the Pocket has been added to inaugural HoagieNation Festival

You can’t have a Philly-themed rock and pop music festival without David Uosikkinen’s In the Pocket.

Well, you can, but it wouldn’t seem right, especially with everything Hooters drummer Uosikkinen and his ever-growing band of talented musicians have done over the last seven years to bring attention to what he’s called “the essential songs of Philadelphia.”

So when Live Nation and favorite Philly sons Daryl Hall and John Oates announced in March that they’d be staging the inaugural HoagieNation Festival on Festival Pier at Penn’s Landing on May 27, calling it “a celebration of everything Philly,” the inclusion of In the Pocket seemed like a no-brainer.
