    Artist description
    He will wallop you with a raw-throated howl overtop of his driving guitar one minute and hit you with a heartfelt acoustic ballad the next. Your ears ringing with the sound of a powerful, gritty twang you don't know whether to laugh, cry or yell at the top of your lungs. Rich Hope is re-inventing a rock sound that one can rely on. A sound that is timeless and honest rather than the targeted flavour-of-the-month.
    Music Style
    Blazing rock 'n' roll, rootsy twang and straight-from-the-heart laments. Americana, if you will.
    Musical Influences
    Clash, Willie Nelson, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Gram Parsons
    Similar Artists
    Wilco, Husker Du, REM, The Replacements, Soul Asylum, Neil Young & Crazy Horse
    Artist History
    After performing for years as a solo singer/songwriter Rich Hope assembled the first version of his band in 1996 and released an eponymous 6-song EP. In June of 1999 Hope debuted his first full length CD- GOOD TO GO with a new line up of musicians. An ecletic mix of songs suggest that there are few stones left unturned on this record.
