Remember the 80''s?

Best known as a founding member and bassist of Chalk Circle, Hopkins and his band-mates grew from their roots as a committed garage band in Newcastle, Ontario to achieve prominence as an alternative act in the ''80s. The band stayed the course from 1983 until 1990 and enjoyed success with such releases as The Great Lake (1986), platinum-selling Mending Wall (1987) and As the Crow Flies (1989).

In a band renowned for its high-energy live performances and stellar songwriting, Hopkins was instrumental in steering Chalk Circle through its evolution from a teenage passion to a solid musical voice. Chalk Circle toured North America and Europe and opened for such acts as Crowded House, Rush and Tears for Fears. The band enjoyed a diverse following that crossed boundaries of musical trends and styles.

A Rock Veteran

Hopkins songwriting continued as a member of the Headstones where he co-penned the song "Absolutely" on their gold-selling release, Picture of Health (1992). Hopkins passion for hockey led to his next musical endeavor when he hooked up with a group of neighborhood hockey enthusiasts who invited him to join Nothing in Particular and contribute to their release, Is That Right (1995). The group showcased in New York City at 1995''s CMJ Festival, and at the infamous CBGBs. Later in the decade, Hopkins joined Edmonton singer-songwriter Marshall Tully''s band and contributed songwriting, bass playing and vocals to the release, Always (2000).
