Making Music Choosing Hope

The New Hope Band is a rock band with differing abilities, based in San Jose, CA. It consists of adults with various abilities, who share a passion for music. Performing together since 2008, they are united by a love of entertaining audiences and proving that talent has no limits.

Within the New Hope Band, we focus on ability, presume competence, and create opportunities for every musician to reach their full musical potential. We are more than a band, we’re a musical family - celebrating growth, resilience, accomplishment, and the power of music that brings people together.

A Program of Hope Services

The New Hope Band is proud to be a program of Hope Services, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities to live fulfilling, independent lives. Through music, the band brings Hope Services’ mission to life by creating a community where musicians of all abilities can develop their talents, build meaningful connections, and inspire audiences with every performance.
