Hope is on the way I once heard that mean old talk-show host Dr. Laura say, “Hope is not a good strategy.” I’ve never given much credence to anything that crotchety giver of advice had to say, though, and neither should you. Hope is a fine thing, especially when we’re talking about the band 56 Hope Road. read more >> Written by: Tom Irwin

What do you call the music? Acoustic funk? Jam Rock? It ain't hard
to get a musician to
spend 45 minutes talking about what genre their music is, or how
it's really impossible
to classify, so let's just say it's real fun acoustic rock.
Jammin', sometimes poignant,
sometimes super-funk. We got Dave and Anne rockin' the vocal
harmonies, a great
rhythm section consisting of Greg and Chad with Matt on
percussion, plus a bunch of soloists that sit in. Listen to some tracks and see for yourself.
We are the Jam Base 2007 Road Warrior! We have played more
shows in 2007 than any other band at jambase.com. Chances are,
we'll be playing somewhere close to you! Visit our page at jambase.com).
You can buy our CDs at our website, www.56HopeRd.com. We've just released our
new album Law Of Attraction. Pick up some of our tracks
from our Snocap store above!!
Peace!
