NASHVILLE, Tenn—(12-4-07)—The legendary Hoppers are pleased to offer an exciting new service on their website. A concept video highlighting the Hoppers current single, “I’m Just Waiting For My Ride,” is currently available for download at http://www.thehoppers.com during the month of December. The video includes the award-winning Hoppers along with songwriter Ronnie Hinson performing the hit song. The downloadable video is also contained on the Hopper’s Celebration 50 DVD. “I’m Just Waiting For My Ride” can be downloaded to your I-Pod or I-Tunes library and is free of charge. “I’m Just Waiting For My Ride” sits at the number seven position on the Singing News National Radio Chart and claimed the #1 position for a second week in a row on SoGospelNews.com.

The Hoppers were featured during Gospel Music Showcase on Daystar Television Network this past Saturday and recently awarded the prestigious Order of the Long Leaf Pine by North Carolina Governor Mike Easley. “America’s Favorite Family of Gospel Music” is proud to commemorate their 50 year anniversary through a series of Hopper's Heritage Concerts that include performances by The Original Hopper Brothers and Connie. The group began their quest in music as a sharecropping family of eleven children where five of the seven brothers began singing at local churches under the direction of their mother. In 1957, as young adults, four of the brothers began the Hopper Brothers Quartet. In 1960, Connie Shelton joined their ranks as the piano player and later married Claude, the manager of the group. Connie's popularity eventually caused the group to change its name to The Hopper Brothers and Connie. In 1964, the group entered and won the talent contest at the National Quartet Convention in Nashville, TN. The Hoppers have evolved over the years and now is comprised of Claude and Connie, their two sons Mike and Dean and Dean’s wife, Kim. The group recently signed with Canaan Records, a division of Word Entertainment, a Warner/Curb company, where they nationally released their new hit album, The Ride. This group has received nearly every award possible in their field of music including being presented with Favorite Mixed Group on numerous occasions. They average singing to over 1 million concert goers in over forty states and five countries per year.
