Acoustic “fingerstyle” guitar wizard Shaun Hopper is at first glance an unassuming presence, a true southern gentleman whose humility stands in sharp contrast to the prodigious talents he unveils on stage. Merging complex melodic lines, harmonies and bass lines along with a one-of-a-kind percussive technique, he mesmerizes everyone within earshot. Both original compositions and pop covers are infused with the cutting edge resonance and flavor only found in the new breed of You Tube virtuosos, yet his overall approach to guitar remains inspired by the legends; Tommy Emmanuel, Michael Hedges, George Benson, Martin Taylor and Leo Kottke. The final result is a signature style which crosses over the full range of musical genres, including; Traditional Folk, Classical, Celtic, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Blues and Percussive-New Age.
