HopStone Duo

Meet Nathan Stone and Jack Hopfinger, the dynamic duo behind HopStone—a band born from an open mic in Southern Oregon and fueled by over two years of musical synergy. With a wide-ranging repertoire that spans classic rock, country, soul, and more; HopStone brings a fresh yet timeless sound to every stage they grace.

Nathan Stone’s rich vocal versatility allows him to switch seamlessly from soulful, soft croons to gritty, masculine tones, all while delivering heartfelt performances. His extensive touring along the West Coast and across the U.S. for nearly two decades has seen him open for legends like Leon Russell, Tim Reynolds, and Brandi Carlile, and participate in numerous music festivals along the West Coast.

Jack Hopfinger’s virtuoso guitar skills echo the styles of Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, and Larry Carlton. With over 40 years of experience, Jack has earned a reputation as a versatile, fluid, and highly respected guitarist. His impressive resume includes opening for icons such as Robben Trower, Curtis Salgado, Robert Cray, Junior Brown, The Subdudes, John Mayall, Gino Vannelli, and Los Lonely Boys, as well as performing with Jim Belushi’s band and the local Southern Oregon act J Brothers. Jack’s one-man-band performance setup—combining lead guitar, vocals, and drum beats created with a “mad scientist” rig using a cajon, modified drum pedals, a looper, and samples—is a show-stopping element that helps set HopStone apart from other acts.

Influenced by iconic artists like Dire Straits, Eric Clapton, Pink Floyd, and Tom Petty; HopStone’s influences are woven into their eclectic live performances. Whether performing at wineries, taphouses, festivals, or public events, HopStone’s unique song selections and engaging stage presence make each show memorable.
