The Donna Hopkins Band is a hard rock n’ roots trio. Playing a blues rock mix of original music, the show never disappoints. The band consists of Donna Hopkins on lead guitar and vocals, a bass player, and Richie Jones on drums and backup vocals. Richie calls the band “Government Hopkins” because of the energy and sound they put out on stage. Donna’s guitar playing is comparable to Duane Allman or Derek Trucks, and her singing is comparable to Bonnie Raitt. This is truly a band destined for stardom!
