Hope Clayburn's Soul Scrimmage (Band)
Biography:
Soul-jazz-funk saxophonist and vocalist Hope Clayburn is on a mission to move the people. Her unique and energetic style has allowed her to perform with an eclectic mix of artists around the world, including The Temptations, The Allman Brothers Band, Snarky Puppy and James Brown. She has appeared on notable TV programs such as PBS’s Sun Studio Sessions and Austin City Limits with Grammy nominated artist Valerie June.
She started singing in church, and then fell in love with the saxophone when playing in her junior high school band in North Carolina. From high school in Richmond, VA, she went on to college at the University of Virginia, and graduated with a degree in neuroscience, while playing in area bands. She then played in a jazz band, got connected with local musicians and played in her first ever rock band, Baaba Seth.
She later met and played with legendary Memphis, Tennessee band FreeWorld which is where she met other Memphis musicians and from those connections formed her band Soul Scrimmage.
Hope Clayburn describes their sound as, "It combines what we’ve learned from playing in Memphis, the blues, soul, a little bit of other flavors from all the experiences I’ve had in different bands, African, salsa, reggae. It’s soul music with a down home, but also international, feel to it. And it’s energetic. Energetic soul funk rock is where I would put it."
