Bobcat Opossum at The Acorn

Bobcat Opossum is Sean Hoffman and Ellen Coplin. They draw inspiration and repertoire from traditional music across several genres including Irish, Americana, bluegrass, classical, and old time music.

Ellen Coplin crawled over to the piano as a toddler and hasn’t been able to shake the music habit since! She grew up in Northwest Ohio playing piano and cello and graduated from Taylor University with a bachelors in music composition. She is an accomplished and experienced teacher across many instruments including piano, cello, guitar, bass and ukulele. She plays cello and keyboard with newgrass band Debutants and Irish band Soltre.

Sean Hoffman has been teaching and playing fiddle for many years. He grew up playing bluegrass with his family in Indiana and studied Irish music with New York-based fiddler Brian Conway. He plays with multiple bands including Debutants, Bobcat Opossum, and Soltre. He is fascinated by the relationship between Irish music and old-time dance music, those not so distant cousins separated by an ocean and re-imagined in the hills and hollers of the New World.
