Hope Dunbar is a singer-songwriter known for her blend of Americana and country-folk sounds. Hailing from Utica, Nebraska, she has been a pioneer of what she calls "New American Prairie style," crafting semi-autobiographical songs that transform everyday life into art. Her work has garnered recognition, including being a three-time finalist at the Kerrville New Folk Song Contest.
After residing in a small town in Nebraska, Dunbar relocated to New Jersey, bringing her unique "Big Sky sound" to the East Coast. She has opened for national artists and has been a part of shows with Asbury Park musicians. She also co-hosts a weekly podcast, "Prompt Queens," where she and her sister-in-law write a new song each week based on a specific prompt.
Dunbar's latest album, "Happily Ever Elsewhere," was released on August 1st, 2025. The album, which was supported by a Kickstarter campaign, features collaborations with artists such as Darrell Scott, Eliza Gilkyson, and Cory Branan.
