About us


Hipple Street are a four piece band writing and performing melodic tunes, featuring upfront grooves, infectious instrumental hooks with a strong emphasis on vocal harmony.

Being multi-instrumentalists, Hipple Street have set out with the idea of creating something new and different. Influenced by such greats as Steely Dan, Earth Wind & Fire, George Benson and Stevie Wonder - the aim has been to create and produce a brand of music that would one day live up to the qualities and achievements of these influential icons.

With the collaboration of their styles of funk, jazz, classic rock merged with the skills of pop producer Andy Reynolds, this combination led them to the Hipple Street signature sound.

Last year, at the invitation of IMRO - Ireland's Music Rights Organisation, Hipple Street entered the song "Havana" into the International Songwriting Competition (ISC) in Nashville Tennessee, reaching the quarter-finals globally. The judging panel consisted of such industry heavy-weights as P Diddy, Michael McDonald, Steve Lillywhite and Monte Lipman.

The release of "Inspector Rita" has led to the track debuting at Number 27 in the Official Irish Singles Chart on the week ending 8th of February 2007. It was also the 15th most downloaded song in Ireland that week and the second highest independent music release.
