Our own Claire Campbell is thrilled to have a show. The ONLY show that hasn’t gotten cancelled this Fall. Come listen at this super-duper cute outdoor venue in Winterville, GA: FRONT PORCH BOOKSTORE . Claire will be sharing the tiny stage with her comrades, Ty Manning and Fester Hagood. They will make you guffaw! We swear your sides will burst with laughter! AND IT IS COMPLETELY FREE!!!
Our dear pal, Rainbow Valentine, has just released a magnum opus of a podcast about the real person, Patch Adams! Yeah, that guy from the movie? He is REAL and he is up for a frickin’ nobel prize because of his geniunely spectacular life. This podcast is all about love and depression and joy and counter culture and so much more. And it features tons of Hope For Agoldensummer songs!
Everybody is doing virtual shows this year and we’ve been lucky enough to collaborate with some of our favorite people. This video was for Patterson Hood’s recent live broadcast on Noon Chorus. If y’all don’t know who Patterson Hood is, get out from under your rock and prepare to have your mind blown by the Drive-By Truckers.
Y’all, I’ve been meaning to make a rock n’ roll cemetary for years. We lost so many of the greats in the last 365 days, and my neighborhood needed some cheering up…. Behold… Classic City Cemetary for Recently Deceased Musicians in GuitArms.
Historic Athens invited Hope For Agoldensummer to grace the hallowed & super secret grounds of BEECH HAVEN. Since this is a dang pandemic and we all live in different places, we did some tricky remote recording to make this work. Props go out to Claire’s tiny Focusrite Scarlett and the user friendliness of iMovie.
Y’all remem er the Gold Club?
We sure do! Yup, we grew up right down the road from the infamous Gold Club. So… we were thrilled to get the call to compose background music & beats for a podcast all about the Gold Club’s wild nights and (even more wild) racketeering trial. You can listen to it everywhere but we recommend I HEART RADIO :: RACKET.
Our own Claire Campbell, and our dear pal - SJ Ursrey (of the band Honeychild) - present here some tips for dealing with the blues. Thank you, BRAINAID!!!!
Hope For Agoldensummer contributed 3 music videos to this year’s North Georgia Folk Fest, which, due to covid-times, was virtual. Our bit starts about 1 hour & 27 minutes in, so we’ve gone ahead and cued it up for you RIGHT HERE!
Filmmaker, James Preston, truly loves our tiny town of Athens, GA. He licensed multiple Hope For Agoldensummer songs to make this movie shimmer. And he’s been sweet enough to stream it for free during the pandemic. Check it out and learn all about the vibrant arts & dance community that is Athens, GA!!!
Our own Claire Campbell and her friends made a music video to let you know, gurl, You’ve Got A Friend.
Parental Zoom fails featuring the Campbell Family.
Is anyone else Zooming with family and achieving the same level of frustration and hilarity as we are? I recorded the last one and our pal turned it into a song. Oh, Dad…

If you're lost, well, you just keep swimming.
Chispa House licensed two Hope For Agoldensummer tunes for this lovely and VERY moving short doc about eight children on the difficult journey of pediatric cancer and the unlikely robot that accompanies them.
Claire Campbell made the music for the incredible new podcast from Rainbow Valentine, Disorganized Crime: Smuggler’s Daughter.
Rainbow Valentine discovers her artist mom and 'businessman' dad were deeply involved in the illegal drug trade and unknowingly spent her childhood among a massive pot distribution operation.
Claire is s’posed to be on voice rest, but she is terrible at following orders. She got all excited because the ratchet straps on her beehives are in harmony. Here’s a teensy, tiny, little, falsetto song about her bees.
HFags soundtrack!
Fabulous filmmaker, James Preston, has made another one of his fabulous films! This is PART II of the Athens Rising series and is titled Transmittance.
