Soul-Jazz-Funk saxophonist/flautist and vocalist Hope Clayburn is on a mission to move the people. Her unique funky, soulful style has allowed her to perform with an eclectic mix of artists around the world, including James Brown, The Allman Brothers Band, and The Temptations. She has appeared on the iconic PBS music show Austin City Limits with Grammy nominated folk artist Valerie June. Hope is also featured on Valerie’s new EP of cover songs Under Cover.
