The promise of complete victory is the foundation and
cornerstone of any career in the Christian music field.
Many talented vocalists and musicians step onto concert
stages across the country each week: however, only the
faithful and the devoted overcome the pressures of life
on the road to delight in the bountiful blessings that
are bestowed upon the faithful servant. The Hoppers,
whose name has been synonymous with traditional Gospel
Music for over three decades, can certainly be labeled
as the faithful and the devoted. This family has enjoyed
many rewards of the faithful servant. These rewards
are the result of constant faithfulness and continual
rededication.
While The Hoppers have enjoyed tremendous success through
three decades, the `90s ushered in new found accomplishments.
Although this talented musical family has enjoyed many
popular hit releases, their first Number One release
came in 1990 with the song entitled Here I Am. It stayed
at the top of the charts for 4 months and was awarded
song of the year for 1990. Since that time five Hopper
releases have peaked at Number One. Milk & Honey, Mention
My Name, Anchor to the power of the Cross, Yes I Am and their
most recent release, "Jerusalem". Heavenly Sunrise and
the powerful song That's Him reached Number Two.
In addition to enormous radio success. The Hoppers have
enjoyed other national recognition. In 1981, The Hoppers
represented Southern Gospel Music at the Religious Inaugural
Celebration for President Ronald Reagan. Shortly thereafter
they appeared at the National Rally to restore prayer
in the public school system. The Hoppers were also a
part of the original Singing At Sea Cruise, which first
sailed in 1974. The group has been a part of that every
year since. On June 27 1998 at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta,GA.
They performed a song for Bill Gaithers video entitled
"Shouting Time". That would forever change their life
and their Ministry. They have toured with the Gaither
Homecoming show that played to over 900,000 people per
year in most major sports arenas around the country.
They have also enjoyed much success as a result of many
group and individual awards and accolades.
