Clever Hopes

Clever Hopes is a Canadian alternative country and folk rock band based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, whose core member is singer-songwriter Andrew Shaver.[1]

Originally from Toronto, Ontario, Shaver is also an actor and theatre director, best known for his supporting role as David Rizzio in the fourth season of the television series Reign,[2] and has been a radio host on CKVE-FM and CFLB-FM.[3]

He formed the band after spending some time in Australia following the end of a romantic relationship. After returning to Canada, he asked Eva Foote, whom he had first met when he directed her in a production of the musical Once, to collaborate on recording songs for the band's 2022 debut album Artefact.[4] The album was produced and mixed by Matthew Barber,[5] and featured guest contributions by Noah Reid and Justin Rutledge.[6]

He followed up with the album New Kind of Familiar in 2024.[1] Again produced by Barber, the album featured contributions by Foote, Kyle Cunjak, Joshua Van Tassel, Joe Grass, Daniel Ledwell and Afie Jurvanen.[1]
