The Surgically Hip

About

The latest addition to the raft of Tragically Hip tribute bands, The Surgically Hip stands out as particularly scrupulous. From the first few notes the audience is transported to a time when The Hip was Canada’s soundtrack. First rate musicianship and sensitive lead vocals meant to evoke rather than mimic, The Surgically Hip is a respectful, high energy nostalgia trip! All of your favourite Hip songs are rendered with surgical precision and album-authenticity while retaining the purity and musicality which endeared the Hip to their legions of fans. Led by versatile frontman Joe Cuscianna, and supported by long-time musical associates John Keffer (guitar and backing vocals), Eric Newby (guitar), Frank Baraczka (drums, percussion, keyboards), and Ken Purvis (bass), who have performed all across the country and have shared the stage with some of Canada’s most beloved musical artists, this is one tribute act Hip fans will not want to miss!
