Acoustic guitar wizard Shaun Hopper is an unassuming presence on stage, but his playing has star power to spare. His finger style guitar playing is infused with a percussive element. His music is influenced by the sounds of Chet Atkins along with Folk, and Irish undertones.

Born in Adel, GA, he realized early at age 13 he wanted to play music and has not let up since. He has been making a mark with his music by opening for acts like The John Jorgenson Quintet (Elton John), Bobby Yang, Switchfoot, Pierre Bensusan, The California Guitar Trio and has toured with Tim Reynolds from the Dave Matthews Band.

He has also received several endorsements including sponsorships from Larrivee Guitars, Fishman Acoustic Amplification, Laboga Instrument Cables, L.R. Baggs, Voodoo Lab, Pedaltrain, Georgia Case Co. and Elixir Guitar Strings. In 2007, Shaun won 1st place for best instrumental song in Winfield, KS and earlier that year he placed 2nd in the Eddie's Attic Singer/Songwriter shootout without singing and was the first instrumentalist to exceed that far in the competition. Also in 2007 he was named "Best Musician on the Rise" by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

You can find his song "Over the Line" featured on Carson Daly's website and on youtube and he has also been in discussion with Steve Vai at Favored Nations about possibly working with his label. Shaun currently has an EP out titled "Once Written" with songs that Matt Glisson and Tommy Emmanuel help co-write with him. He is extremely thankful to God, his family and all the people that support and believe in him.
