With so many genres coursing through his veins, the closest we came to tagging Hopper is with some sort of crossover pop/rock country americana. His songs are deeply personal and often quite vulnerable. We dare you to listen to his solo debut, "Inside Out" and not feel a connection. - ATL Magazine
Eric Michael Hopper delivers indie Americana rock with passion and promise. His CD is beautifully produced and contains several stand out songs. I highly recommend this record for any fan of Americana/pop indie music. - Indie Amplifier
As a Music Director with LiJit Pictures in Atlanta I’m presented with tons of music. Some of it is OK, some of it is bad and some of it is good,, and then there is Eric’s. I felt the song “Last Three Day’s “was something I wanted on my reel as a director as well as a video that could hit a wide demographic. As a matter of fact when the team sat down to discus the video it was hard to decide on what song to shoot. I’m excited to see Eric hitting his mark. - LiJit Pictures
