Hope Douds is a singer-songwriter who expertly creates a dreamy sonic landscape with the gentle sounds of a guitar paired with a soft drum beat. Layered over this euphonic sound, Hope’s mellow voice singing of a small-town girl who is more than meets the eye. This girl is a “fairytale as old as time / with depth in between the lines / a beautiful mystery.” She can move “From concrete castles / To fields and plains” with ease all while staying true to her humble upbringing. She shows she’s a hardworking gal and never takes anything for granted in the lyrics “Her dreams become reality / She works so hard / To earn her thangs / Her heart is always in the right place.”
Hope is letting us know loud and clear that she is a complex woman who is just getting started. All we can do is “watch her bloom…”
Not only is she authentically a true southern belle but she also pays homage to the authenticity of Johnny Cash she celebrates the sweet and giving nature of her music icon Dolly Parton.

Growing up in Georgia, this southern belle grew up surrounded by cattle farms, the suburbs, and the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains. Her passion for writing has lent itself to her songwriting as she found a true love and passion for musical expression.

Hope teamed up with her Nashville producer Parker Howard who is working with Hope in creating her vision of bringing her songwriting and vocal vision to life.
