Rich Hope

Artist Website

Veteran Pacific Northwest rocker Rich Hope has been a force on the Vancouver music scene for over two decades, known for his explosive live shows and gritty, R&B-flavoured garage rock. His fourth album, I’m All Yours — his first full-length since 2009 — was recorded at Vancouver’s Little Red Sounds studio with producer Felix Fung, capturing the raw energy and spontaneous spirit that have made Hope a local institution. Backed by longtime collaborators Erik Nielsen, Matt Kelly, and Adrian Mack, the album spins from high-octane rockers to sweet country soul, proving his enduring versatility.

Raised in Edmonton and based in Vancouver since the late 1990s, Hope’s career includes stints with John Ford, extensive touring, and opening for acts like The Black Crowes, Social Distortion, and The Flamin’ Groovies. Whether tearing up small clubs or lighting up big stages, Rich Hope remains a dynamic, essential voice in Canadian rock and soul.
