Hope MacGregor

Free show! What is a gal supposed to do when her car breaks down, her grandmother dies, her dog gets cancer, and her husband runs off with a blonde to Texas. . . . write a country song, of course.
Hope MacGregor’s first love was music. If you’d have run across her grandmother in the grocery store, she would have told you that Hope could sing the entirety of The Sound of Music before she could speak a full sentence. Hope began writing her own material at fifteen and playing with a small band of friends in her corn-fed, midwestern hometown. She tried to convince her parents to let her drop out of high school to head to Nashville, but their collective wisdom forbade it.
Two weeks into her second year of law school and just a handful of months into the pandemic, her ex-husband moved out.
To help pack up and move on, Hope’s dad made the trek out to North Carolina. While cleaning out a closet of her soon-to-be-ex-husband’s belongings, they ran across her old guitar from her days at West Point. That Guild guitar had been cracked and glued back together, been dragged along on several field training exercises . . . and it had been packed away for far, far too long. Her dad asked how long it had been since she played. Thinking back, Hope realized it had been years since she hummed a tune, much less strummed a six string. As any good dad would, Hope’s father told her it was probably time to try.
What started out as a way to survive such a bleak season became a rekindled old flame. The more Hope played and wrote and sang, the more she healed. And the more she healed the more she sang and wrote and played. In the summer of 2022 she released an EP that she produced in the bonus room over her garage.
Upon graduating law school, Hope moved to Jackson, Tennessee. There, she found a vibrant local music scene with talented musicians and a town full of music lovers.
