APRIL 2006
"It was a standing-room only crowd at Rosanna's pad on April 8. David Hopkins brought some excellent musicians to back him up: Walty on bass and vocals, Ricky Carter on drums and Alan Lin from Noe Venable's trio, on the violin. This was the first time we've ever had a full band set up in a living room, and I was a little wary about how it would translate without a P.A. But these guys are pros. They played with such finesse and nuance. It sounded tremendous."

"It was one of those rare nights when you could feel the energy in the room rising the more the band got into their groove. One of the high points was hearing the crowd take the harmonies on David's covers of "Could You Be Loved" and "So Lonely." Those are the goosebump moments that remind me why I do this month after month." - host Drew Pearce

2006
Set up a house concert with David! "I love playing house concerts, so here's a little note to say I'm available, wherever whenever to do them. Just get a bunch of folks together, tell me when and where and if I can get there, I'll do it!" - DHopkins

CD BABY 
Check out what CD Baby has to say about David: David Hopkins AMBER & GREEN - This Irish lad, with a breathtaking voice that draws you in and holds your attention from the first note he sings, wraps up his fuzzy vocals in a gorgeous washy, reverby, sonic, folk-informed pop texture, somewhat reminiscent of Nick Drake and Damien Rice. Plodding along with the jangly guitar is the solid, chordal piano writing, the cushioned attack of the piano strings playing with the strumming of the guitar. Here is a man who fully inhabits the sound worlds he creates, fleshing out the possibilities from slow, mind-numbing tracks to more 60's pop, Beatles-inspired uppers. All around, he is a singer/songwriter to get acquainted with- for it's only a matter of time before his albums start showing up everywhere.
