Every song from Little Hopes is a secret passage into their wildly charmed corner of the American South—a timeworn wonderland of honeysuckles and kudzu, porch swings and boxed wine, grandiose thunderstorms and glittering night skies. Since forming the Atlanta-based duo in 2023, Sydney Rhame and Brock Shanks have created their own enchanted take on Americana/country-rock, suffusing their storytelling with the kind of lived-in detail that lights up the senses and pulls the listener deep into their lavish world, bringing a much-needed magic to songs of loss, longing, and the often-heartbreaking work of chasing your dreams.
