The Hope Trust is the working moniker of Kelly
Upshaw and the band that plays with him, a
singer-songwriter from Denton, Texas. The band
consists of Andy Odom (bass), Winston Chapman
(drums), Jeremy Buller (guitar, keyboards), Michael
Upshaw (guitars, keyboards, background vocals), and
Kelly Upshaw (guitar, keyboards, vocals).
Kelly is formerly the drummer of The
Lonelies, a band with The Hope Trust's bass player
Andy Odom, and critically acclaimed songwriter Doug
Burr.
The Hope Trust draws influence from it's
members' southern upbringing, American Country and
Gospel, and more modern influences such as Neil
Finn, and Wilco.
"The Incurable Want" was recorded in a
solitary month, locked away in Winston Chapman's
house in Denton, TX. Finishing touches such as piano
and pedal steel were added in Brooklyn, NY, where
Kelly was living during the making of the record.
The record includes a handful of special guest
performances, such as the drums on the opening track
"Break You Down," played by Andy Young (formerly of
Lift to Experience). The lead guitar track on "Don't
Want to Fight" was performed by Eric Nichelson of
the internationally successful band Midlake. Pedal
Steel was played by Bob Hoffnar, who is a bit of a
New York regular, having played with Cindi Lauper
and Ryan Adams.
"The Incurable Want" is an incredibly
special record, with songs that will not only get
stuck in your head, but it will break your heart and
make you feel better all at once.
