In this Promo Packet, you will find the following information: this cover letter, a band photo, a brief biography of the band members; and an always changing song list.</p><p>Band Biography: Hip Pocket rose from the ashes of Brass Menagerie, a similar band that rocked the Mid-Ohio Valley from the mid 1990’s until 2001. Many of the members of Hip Pocket were also members of Brass Menagerie. New members came on board to replace those ex- Brass Menagerie members who moved away or had become active in other pursuits. Hip Pocket is an eight-piece R & B/Rock Band with a 3-piece horn section. The band is a versatile group of players, with many years of collective experience in the business of making music and entertaining your clientele. Sporting a deep book of material covering many different genre’s, Hip Pocket is a great choice for your next event. We have played in a number of special venues and, of course, are available for dances, parties and Christmas/New Years or other special events. </p><p>Hip Pocket looks forward to working for you in your next event. </p><p>Hip Pocket can be reached by:</p><p>Voice: 740-336-8000 (Scott) 304-295-7034 (Buddy) 740-374-5419 (Dave)</p><p>Email: [email protected] Web: www.hip-pocket.org mirror: brass.diogenes-club.com</p><p>Thanks for downloading our Promo Packet.
