Ian Wijaya - Guitar

Ian Wijaya is the lead guitarist of HopeWell. Known for his melodic phrasing and warm tone, Ian brings a musical sensitivity that elevates every song he touches. His playing is both tasteful and explosive — the kind that turns heads, lifts crowds to their feet, and gives HopeWell its unmistakable musical identity.

A phenomenal guitarist and an even better person, he's a core part of what makes HopeWell… HopeWell.

Scott Consoli - Bass Guitar

Scott Consoli's journey into music didn't start with a grand plan — it started with a bet. What began as a challenge quickly turned into passion, and before long, Scott found himself onstage living out a moment most musicians only dream about: the very first time his parents saw him play, he was opening for Bruce Springsteen at Giants Stadium. A bet turned into a calling and a thirteen year hiatus turned into HopeWell. With a deep love for original music, Scott spent years shaping his sound in the band Exit 105, sharing stages with legends along the way. He's opened for George Clinton, Cheap Trick, Radiohead, the Charlie Daniels Band, and even stood on the same stage with The Boss himself who joined in. Those experiences sharpened not just his chops, but his appreciation for honest, heartfelt rock played at full volume. On the bass, Scott mixes melodic flair with rock-solid rhythm. Whether he's ripping smooth runs up the neck or locking into tight, simple grooves with his drummer and buddy, Scott plays with a feel that anchors the band and pushes the music forward. His style is equal parts instinct, emotion, and straight-up fun — the kind of bass playing you feel as much as you hear. Above all, Scott loves playing live. The lights, the crowd, the energy, the unpredictability — that's where he thrives. His enthusiasm on stage spills into every audience, helping fuel the good-time, good-friends atmosphere that defines HopeWell. From a bet to a stadium stage, from hometown bars to legendary venues, Scott Consoli brings heart, grit, and groove to every show — and the band wouldn't sound the same without him.

Mark Doron - Drums & Percussion

Mark Doron is the rhythmic engine of HopeWell — a powerhouse drummer with roots right here in Hopewell, NJ, and a musical journey that's taken him far beyond it. A local native with a road-tested pedigree, Mark has spent years touring up and down the East Coast and beyond, most notably as part of The Transmitters, a Virginia-based touring act, along with several other groups spanning multiple genres and multiple instruments. Mark's versatility is his superpower. From bluegrass to rock, funk to folk, jam-band grooves to high-energy anthems, he's mastered the art of playing exactly what the song needs — and then kicking it up a notch when the moment calls for it. Whether it's thunderous fills, tight pocket grooves, or foot-stomping drive, Mark knows how to bring the noise, bring the party, and bring the crowd to life. Onstage, Mark is the spark. His energy is contagious, his timing is rock solid, and his chemistry with the band — especially locking in with Scott on bass — gives HopeWell its foundation and fire. He plays with the joy of someone who truly loves what he does, and every audience feels it. A seasoned traveler, a dynamic performer, and an all-around great hang, Mark Doron brings both experience and excitement to every HopeWell show. Whether in a small bar or on a big stage, he's the heartbeat that keeps the band — and the crowd — moving.
