About David Hopkins
David Hopkins was a founding member of LiR. In 1994, while touring in the US with LiR, Hopkins left the band and stayed in the US. Hopkins released the full-length album Here Comes The Bright Light in 2001. Later he signed with independent label Reekus Records, with whom he released Amber and Green in 2005 and the single "Merry Christmas My Love". The title track for Amber and Green can be heard on the soundtrack for the movie Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj, and reached the Irish top 40 charts as did "Merry Christmas My Love". The albums Running With Knives and There Are Debts followed in 2007 and 2009. A number of Hopkins' songs appeared in movie soundtracks and helped him reach a wider audience. Hopkins has performed his solo material with David Gray, Dan Reynolds (of Imagine Dragons), Matt Nathanson, Damien Rice, The Frames, Lindsey Stirling, Teitur, Jeff Buckley, Sinéad O'Connor, Bell X1 among others. In 2018 Hopkins released Overlook, his first album in 9 years.
Hopkins is also the front man for the group Bombay Heavy, using the alias "Barnabus Wu". The group is influenced by classic rock and is in contrast to Hopkins' usual singer-songwriter style. The group's debut EP features Dave Keuning and Mark Stoermer of the Killers; two of their earliest gigs were opening for the Killers in 2016.
