Travis Hopkins’ tale could aptly be called “<strong>The</strong>re and Back Again: A Hopkins Tale,” but instead of<br />

quests in Middle Earth, the Jamestown native traveled back to Fargo after long and adventuresome<br />

stints in New York City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.<br />

He had it all: long, black hair, piercings, a leather jacket, a drum set and a successful band.<br />

He probably even wore tattered, tight jeans with drumsticks in his back pocket.<br />

While touring with his band, Hopkins realized he had an interest in the behindthe-scenes<br />

work of band promotion and coordination. It also paid better.<br />

Since moving back to Fargo, Hopkins has continued using his marketing<br />

skills for a homebuilding company and a health and fitness center.<br />

He is also the host of <strong>The</strong> Side Stage Show on 95.9 KRFF, which<br />

features entertainers of varying niches, from rock musicians to<br />

animal communicators.<br />

While we didn’t partake in the brews at Drekker, we<br />

enjoyed the views from the loft area as we delved into<br />

the story of Hopkins’ life — as told in less than 40<br />

minutes.<br />
