REVIEWS

Don Hopkins performs at Bar No. 5, Alexandria, NSW

"Don's undoubably one of Australia's finest blues pianists."-Andrew Williams, Drum Media
"Don Hopkins, Swamp Man of Sydney
In New Orleans they don't do it any better than this man. Don's an original and a classic in one. He writes, sings and plays anything with keys on it. He has the whole world of blues in his hands. Jelly Roll Morton, Prof Longhair, James Booker... They're all there like hot sauce tastefully mixed with influences from early jazz and swing to cajun and boogie.
Don's voice,unique by any standard, is warm and infinitely interesting, bending phrases and notes into delightful surprises." -Sam Leopold, New York singer-songwriter.
