Backstory:
Hungry Reputation was formed in the small town of Vardon, Ohio in 2012 when four high school friends discovered their shared passion for music. The band consists of frontman Jake Branson on vocals and guitar, Sarah Bliss on drums, Toby Martin on bass, and Rick Dawson on keyboard. The group started by playing covers in Jake’s garage, but quickly found that they had a flair for writing original material. Their shared experiences growing up in a tight-knit community, their struggles, dreams, and ambitions gave birth to songs filled with emotional depth and authenticity. They spent their early years playing local gigs and building a dedicated fan base before they were discovered by a talent scout in 2015.

“Echoes in the Hallway”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Sitting at the [D] edge of the [Em] world
[C] Dreaming about the [G] days past
[D] Wondering where time [Em] flew
[C] And how long this feeling will [G] last.
(Chorus)
[G] Echoes in the [D] hallway, [Em] whispers in the night,
[C] Memories of [G] laughter, [D] fading in the light.
[Em] We’re caught in the [C] rhythm of a [G] time that’s moving [D] fast
[Em] With our [C] hungry reputation [G] built to [D] last.
(Verse 2)
[G] Shadows from our [D] yesterdays, [Em] lingering in the dawn,
[C] Trying to hold [G] on, but it [D] feels like it’s all [Em] gone.
[C] Heartbeats tell a [G] story, [D] in this quiet small [Em] town,
[C] Of a love that [G] started burning, [D] and never did burn [G] down.
(Chorus)
[G] Echoes in the [D] hallway, [Em] whispers in the night,
[C] Memories of [G] laughter, [D] fading in the light.
[Em] We’re caught in the [C] rhythm of a [G] time that’s moving [D] fast
[Em] With our [C] hungry reputation [G] built to [D] last.
Favorite Fan:
Their favorite fan is a woman named Lucy Adams. Lucy has been supporting Hungry Reputation since their garage band days. Her testimony shows the depth of her devotion: “I’ve watched Hungry Reputation since their first gig at Vardon’s town fair. Their music resonates with me on a deep level. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s unapologetically them. I’ve been lucky to see them grow as musicians and individuals. Their music has been a constant in my life, through good times and bad. I can’t imagine a world without their music. They are more than a band to me, they’re like family. I guess that’s why I always make sure to catch their shows, buy their merchandise, and spread the word about their music. They’ve got a sound that’s worth sharing.”
