Press Reviews
Hardworking blues artist Donna Hopkins was chosen "Atlanta's Best Blues Act"
by Atlanta Magazine in their December 2002 Best of Atlanta issue. The article states,
"Hopkins sings like Bonnie Raitt with a southern accent, and also plays
a mean guitar. With a debut album in the wings, Hopkins stands to rise out of the
local blues scene. Catch her there while you can." Atlanta Magazine Dec. 2002
When Cat Stevens sang "Tuesday's Dead," he obviously hadn't wandered into
Fuzzy's Place as Donna Hopkins was holding court.
With a voice oozing Southern grit and soul, and
a rugged band that follows her into the swampiest waters,
Hopkins has turned the cramped club into a weekly blues-rock party.
