Explosive Roots Rock from Northwest Indiana

Fresh Hops is a nationally touring, high-energy roots rock band known for their fearless improvisation and electrifying live performances. Since forming in 2008 in Northwest Indiana, the band has carved out a name for themselves with a sound that blends soulful Americana with jam-band intensity — weaving elements of funk, bluegrass, jazz, and psychedelic rock into a cohesive and powerful musical experience.

What started as an informal improvisational project among friends quickly grew into one of the Midwest’s most exciting and enduring live acts. Over the years, Fresh Hops has evolved through multiple lineups and sonic explorations, but their foundation has always been rooted in organic, emotionally driven rock and roll. Their performances are known for dynamic energy, tight musicianship, and adventurous setlists that make each show a one-of-a-kind journey.

With a reputation for raw stage chemistry, inventive songwriting, and genre-hopping finesse, Fresh Hops continues to expand their reach across the country — captivating festival audiences and venue crowds alike with music that doesn’t just entertain, but invites you in. Fresh Hops isn’t just a band; they’re a living, breathing reminder that roots rock is alive, well, and still evolving.
