Lower Case Letters

Acoustic fingerstyle guitar wizard Shaun Hopper is at first glance an unassuming presence, a true southern gentleman whose humility stands in stark contrast to the prodigious talents he unveils on stage. An unparalleled master of the fret-board. Merging complex melodies, harmonies and bass lines along with a one-of-a-kind mix of percussive elements, Shaun always captivates.

Whether his listeners are guitar enthusiasts or not, anyone within earshot soon realizes they are listening to someone very special. His original compositions and arrangements of pop tunes are infused with the cutting edge techniques and flavorings embraced by the new breed of You-Tube virtuosos, including influences like Adam Rafferty, Andy McKee and Don Ross. Yet, his overall approach to music remains unquestionably rooted and inspired by the greats...including legends; Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel, George Benson, Michael Hedges, Martin Taylor, Buster B. Jones, Pete Huttlinger and Leo Kottke... just to name a few. The result is a signature style which crosses over the full range of genres, including; Traditional Folk, Classical, Celtic, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Blues and Percussive-New age.
