has been performing the music its members love for over 20 years at clubs,
festivals, concerts, universities and colleges, and private
events throughout North America and beyond.
The band members are not only professional musicians and performers, they are
super fans who have seen over 75 Tragically Hip concerts! As true and dedicated fans, they can
be note-perfect on all the songs, while adding the jams and electric
performance elements audiences are looking for. This is truly what has made the
Practically Hip the busiest, most sought after and number one Tragically Hip
tribute band in Canada!
The band is passionate about the material and especially passionate about
capturing the nuances and spirit of the original performances – down to the
rants, stories and all the songs the Hip are known for!
You will be amazed by the vocal ability and sheer stage presence of Dean Hughes
as he interprets and recreates the full Gord Downie experience, all as part of
a phenomenal five-piece band which gives its audiences the highest level of
energy and musicianship the Hip is known for! See for yourself the performance
that embodies all the best of the Hip and leaves audiences raving everywhere.
Practically Hip has played numerous major festivals and events, and has
shared the bill and stage with many top original recording acts
including April Wine, Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, Colin James, Big Wreck,
Sloan, Trooper, Gowan (Styx), Sass Jordan and Honeymoon Suite - to name
just a few..
Now more than ever, your event deserves the band that honours and celebrates
the legacy of Gord Downie and the Hip. With its artistry, talent and
musicianship, Practically Hip is Canada’s number one - and
most in demand – Tragically Hip tribute band and truly transcends any
label!
Join the band in its celebration of all things Tragically Hip!
