Hopewell is an American rock music band. The band was founded by Jason Russo, of Hopewell Junction, New York. At 19, Russo joined Mercury Rev for a world tour, and then struck out on his own with a band named after his hometown[citation needed]. Hopewell's album The Curved Glass was followed up with 2005's space rock opera Hopewell & The Birds Of Appetite -- an album produced by Dave Fridmann, of Flaming Lips fame, and featuring the song "Calcutta."
The band has toured extensively since 2004, including tours across the US and most recently in the UK.
In 2006, the band recorded a new album, Beautiful Targets, in the upstate New York wilderness. This album was released in July 2007. The band has also toured with several notable acts, including (but not limited to):
- Brian Jonestown Massacre
