Hip Service

Since their inception in 1996, the Hip Service sensation has taken Northern California by storm. In addition to headlining hundreds of club dates to capacity crowds, Hip Service has become the band of choice at outdoor festivals and fairs, conventions and corporate parties, fundraisers, concerts, nightclubs, and private events of all types. Whether they are sharing the concert stage with national acts such as Con Funk Shun, Midnight Star, Malo, Evelyn Champagne King, or performing for an intimate private event, Hip Service delivers a dynamite entertainment package.

It's the music that makes you get up and shake your hips! Rhythm & Blues, Classic Soul, sounds of Motown, Classic Rock, 70's Disco, or today's funky grooves: this is the essential music for any dance party! Every Hip Service show is custom tailored for the specific event and venue. Ranging from smooth jazz for the cocktail/dinner set to the full blown house rockin' Hip showband with costume changes, choreography, audience participation, and special effect lighting -- the Hip Service experience captivates audiences of all ages and backgrounds. SAMMIE (Sacramento Area Music Awards) nominated in the past four consecutive years for "Best R&B/Funk Band", Hip Service's appeal has proven to be universal. Their unique sound and visually exciting stage show continues to attract an ever growing and loyal audience. The group is currently working on their first release of both original music and cover tunes in live performance.

Professional production services, including staging, state of the art sound and lighting, and expert technical crew are all part of the Hip Service entertainment package. Their attention to performance details and close interaction with the audience makes every Hip Service show a memorable event. This group's dance-'til-you-drop performances and stellar reputation in the entertainment business has made Hip Service "The-Band-In-Demand!" Great music, dynamic choreography, endless fun and enthusiasm, and true professionalism make Hip Service a very hip pick.
