Influences
Where I live and where I've been, cardinal directions, fire trucks, tapes and tapes and vhs cassettes, my favorite unicorn and Sally Luka, BASS!!, natural disasters, all my friends, the loop, whiskey, the weather, Brazil, and the one who walked away.
If the name is any indication, High Hopes' Brendon Exum has the kind of heart that only a town like Merced could give a beat to. He layers poignant lyrics tempered by his experiences in the Central Valley and his (oh God, quote unquote) High Hopes for life, love, and the world over bright ukulele melodies, supported by the occasional bassy/dancy drum machine beat.
