What Is Hip

What is Hip is Montreal’s Funk, R&B, Soul, Show Band. With a little edge and a lot of soul, this high energy Funk fest has got an infectious vibe that has to be experienced.

Drawing on such musical influences sandwiched somewhere between James Brown and Tower Of Power (with a spicy hint of the Chili Peppers and old school R&B), their live show set list plays like a grab bag of ………..What is Hip!!!

Always the professionals, What is Hip can be booked as a 5 piece band or the Full Monty…..a 12 piece full show band. Clubs, Festivals, Parties or weddings we do it all…….’cause at the end of the day….it's All about the Groove!
