The New Hip Replacements is a high-energy, nine-piece cover band that plays a tasty range of horn-driven R&B/soul faves, blues classics, Motown funk, and raunchy, raspy, hip-shakin’ “grit rock.” Your crowd is sure to have a blast––and to boogie.

The band puts out a wicked-fun wall of sound with a groovin’ male-female lead vocal trio, a trumpet-sax-trombone horn section, keyboards, two guitars, and a kick-ass bass and drums rhythm section.

Led by front man and trumpet player Rick Brandon (known to his fans as “Raucous Rico”) you’ll swing to vocal stylings that the Sonoma Index-Tribune says “have more gravel than a cement truck.” Read all about it.

Based in the North Bay, the New Hip Replacements play all over California’s Bay Area, most extensively in Marin and Sonoma counties.
