Meagan Hope Band delivers a powerful, genre-bending sound that feels like 1970s Laurel Canyon crashing into the raw emotional energy of 1990s alternative rock.

Fronted by Portland-metro singer-songwriter Meagan Hope, the band features Rusty Holmes (guitar), Jimi McMoy (bass), Ken Webster (keyboard & vocals) and Tom Hall (drums/vocals).  The band blends classic rock, soul, folk, and grunge-inspired textures into songs that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. Meagan’s voice — often compared to Natalie Merchant, with hints of Stevie Nicks, Grace Slick, and the modern edge of Miley Cyrus — carries a rare mix of vulnerability, grit, and mysticism.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Fleetwood Mac, Alanis Morissette, and The Doors, Meagan Hope Band creates music that lives in the space between vintage rock storytelling and modern alternative intensity.

Their live performances are immersive, emotionally charged, and highly engaging — moving seamlessly from haunting ballads to gritty blues-rock grooves and danceable alternative anthems. Whether performing in intimate venues or full festival stages, the band brings a magnetic presence that invites audiences into a shared experience of healing, nostalgia, and raw human connection.

Meagan Hope is a 20+ year performing artist whose songwriting explores themes of awakening, resilience, love, loss, and transformation. Her current material reflects a deeply personal journey through spiritual rebirth, self-discovery, and reclaiming creative power — offering audiences something rare: music that doesn’t just entertain, but moves. 

Meagan started out in the local Portland industry as a college intern for Dan Reed (Dan Reed Network) at Ohm Nightclub in 2003. She quickly immersed herself and started at music nonprofit (MEGA Music Foundation 501 C 3) in 2004. She then released first EP with Keith Schreiner (Dahlia) and released Night & Day in 2005. Meagan then became the director of Portland Teen Idol in 2007 working with local legends, Storm Large, Michael Allen Harrsion, and many others. In 2009 she was the producer of a summer concert series called “Take Me to the River” and booked Dan Reed, Patrick Lamb, Linda Hornbuckle, Lloyd Jones, and so many other well known bands. 

Meagan took a hiatus from the music industry for about 10 years and then in 2020 called upon the multi-talented musician, producer and engineer, Kevin Hahn with Opal Studio. Together they created her follow up and first full length album, Good Mourning (2022). In 2024/25 while going through her divorce she started her next album with Hahn and also her bandmates this time around. The next album comes out July 3, 2026.

With a growing catalog of original music and a dynamic live show, Meagan Hope Band is carving out their own lane — where classic rock soul meets 90s alternative fire, wrapped in a modern, witchy, heart-forward aesthetic.
