Hip Hip Thursday

Hip Hip Thursday formed organically as a cooperative of six musicians who became friends at the weekly jam nights and open mics. The resulting project maintained the collaborative energy that brought them together - a fusion of genres that created a unique soundscape. Hip Hip Thursday works to honour the traditions of jazz and hip-hop, while charting new creative territories with influences of funk, indie, and rock. HHT’s music is not just about sound but about storytelling, emotion, and connection to important events and realities of the world around us. Hip Hip has had the honour of playing numerous local festivals - Calgary's Sled Island Festival, East Town Get Down, the King Eddy CIBC Summer series, Calgary Music's SoundOff Summit Showcase, and the Calgary International Film Festival block party. They have been featured on CBC Radio 1 Calgary's Eye Opener, Arts Commons’ TD Incubator program, along with several other shows all across the prairies. Recently, Hip Hip Thursday worked with award winning producer and artist Dempsey Bolton on their new single release “Tippy Tappy La La,” which highlights the group’s playful energy, versatility, and vibrant vocals.
