about

This is the debut album from my latest musical endeavour, The Joyful Hope.
A few years ago my dear friend and long time band mate John Toffoli and I decided we'd explore instrumental music. We set out to learn classics by The Ventures, The Shadows, Duane Eddy, etc. At the same time I began writing songs in a similar vein. Along the way Eugene Tanaka joined us on bass and now here we are with ten original songs we're very pleased with. We hope you like it
