Logan James Hope

Hosts CJ and Reimy welcome Logan James Hope to the studio. We discuss his “grandpa style,” upbringing in Holladay, Utah, and early musical influences. Logan recounts forming his first band in junior high, his frontman role, ego, and how music connected to spirituality, plus later pressures around career, and adulthood. He traces the band’s breakup, a near Atlantic Records moment, experimental projects, and the formation of Silvercup with his sister Hadley, including moving to New York and getting signed. Logan shares how The Hammer and the Nail centers on grief—marriage, music dreams, and faith, performs and plays “Hear Me,” “Fake Rolex”, “Another Bite,” “Water Breaks,” “Cardboard Boxes,” and “Death Do Us Part,” and introduces producer Carl, describing a desert recording process focused on honesty. Christian Lucy on piano accompanies Logan in the Jam Chats studio. Album Art Photography: Luke Barton @lukeb_see
