Florida-based modern rockers, Hope Darling, create music with beautifully passionate vocals, blissful melodies, and a brilliantly immersive full-band sound that’s been entrancing audiences for years now. Rising from the Tampa music scene, the five-piece band gathered a broad range of influences over time. As they perform, they continue to take on-board inspiration from rock as much as blues, classical, reggae, country and even hip hop. Having built a name for themselves on the local scene, the band began to branch out, soon finding themselves playing nationally and even opening up the 2015 97X Next Big Thing Concert; an honor that has since been motivating them to push their sound and their work ethic further and further. That same year saw them nominated as a Breakout Band by TouchTunes digital jukeboxes. They have been finalist of the Hard Rock Café's Hard Rock Rising 2016 competition, and performed at the Indie Music Festival during the Austin, Texas South by Southwest music week in 2019. While their musicianship is second to none, what sets Hope Darling apart is their songwriting. Hope Darling’s song writing is equally compelling, captivating, and increasingly memorable. Offering up emotionally loaded pop-rock and alt-rock anthems, their releases and their live shows bring audiences together in a beautifully unified and powerful way. The single Lifeline has been creating waves, thanks in part to being featured in Spike Lee’s Netflix series She’s Gotta Have It. Along with local and national airplay, the song has seen the band soar higher than ever before, and things look set to keep on growing and evolving for the hard-working and dedicated group. 2019 welcomes Hope Darling back into the studio to record and prepare their new EP release – their second to date – due to be ready in January, 2020. Fusing thoughtful lyricism with incredibly moving, uplifting and energizing musicianship, Hope Darling has already amassed an impressive catalogue of achievements, but this is still very much the beginning.
