ABOUT MATT HOPPER & THE ROMAN CANDLES Matt Hopper has travelled many paths in life with a steadfast goal to write great songs and tell the truth. His music blends jammy spacey guitar work with honest lyrics that explore themes ranging from constant evolutionary change to emotional fallout, as well as simple everyday observations and the joy of life. His life in music includes voracious devouring of almost every genre that started with vinyl and includes cassette tapes, compact discs, and MP3s. As a music director for two radio stations, a music journalist and photographer, and with twenty years spent as a troubadour, Hopper blends thousands of musical ideas and is creating works of art he will leave behind long after he is gone. His songs have won awards, appeared in films, documentaries, and commercials, and have been recorded and performed by major label artists. His body of work began in the late ’90s when he purchased enough gear to make his own music studio in Anchorage, AK. He formed The Roman Candles around that time, and he continues to lead the band twenty years later.
