Florida-based Hope Darling, create music with beautifully passionate vocals, blissful melodies, and a brilliantly immersive full-band sound that’s been entrancing audiences for over five years now. Hope Darling joins together the talents of Gabriel Sanchez lead singer and primary songwriter for the band. Jason Donadio lead guitar and vocalist, Daniel Cruz on the drums, Frank Dancey on rhythm guitar and vocals, finally Richard Gomez on bass guitar. Rising from the Tampa music scene, the five-piece gathered a broad range of influences over time, playing shows and taking on-board inspiration from Rock as much as Blues, Classical, Reggae 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 honour 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, and the rest has been history in the making. What sets the band apart is their song writing– their musicianship is second to none, but their songwriting 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. Hope Darling went back into the studio, to record and prepare their new album expected to be released in the Summer of 2022. 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.
