Choose Hope

The New Hope Band is a rock band located in San Jose, CA. Each band member has a differing unique ability. They are all talented in their own way. All members share a common purpose and desire. They are committed to bringing enjoyment to their audiences. Most have been performing together since 2008. Each individual loves music and is inspired by performing.

The New Hope Band performers range in age from adolescents to adults (even seniors). They are blessed to be able to expand into a “Musical Family”. Our goal is to focus on ability, assume competence, and allow each person to reach their maximum musical potential. They have overcome obstacles, learned to rise up, and blossom into who they are.
