Sean Hopper Discography

This discography focuses on Sean Hopper's recording history. Basically he is playing B3 organ and other keyboards, but he also does lots of background vocals, writes songs and plays acoustic bass if needed.

The discography starts with the most recent release and then goes back in time. The date of release doesn't always have to be the actual year of recording - it is the date albums were available for the first time. In addition to the album covers and album titles, complete tracklistings can be found and info on what Sean's contributions were.
