• Is Rich Hopkins Related To Doug?
  
  The short answer is "no".
  
  Numerous articles (including ones on this site) reference Doug being related to Rich Hopkins from Tucson's Sidewinders, Sand Rubies and Rich Hopkins & The Luminarios.
  
  Despite references to Rich being Doug's brother and uncle, this is not the case, Rich Hopkins is not related to Doug Hopkins. The only connection that exists between the two is that Rich produced the Gin Blossoms debut record Dusted, which was released on his San Jancinto Records label in 1989.
