Linda Elizabeth Hopper is an American singer and the vocalist for the Atlanta, Georgia-based rock group Magnapop.

[1] In 1989, Hopper was introduced to Ruthie Morris—a guitarist who had recently moved from West Palm Beach, Florida to East Atlanta.

[1] Michael Stipe saw their first public performance[9] and offered to produce some demos for them in John Keane's Athens studio in December 1990.

[12] Hopper and Morris continued to play a few acoustic live shows as a duo into 1999, occasionally with accompaniment (such as Philadelphia bassist Billy Warburton and drummer Lance Crow)[13] and attempted to record an EP for record label Vital Cog with a drum machine as backing,[13] but ended up putting Magnapop on an indefinite hiatus.

[12] The band officially re-formed in 2003 with bassist Scott Rowe and drummer Brian Fletcher to tour the European festival circuit and record an album.
