The Strictly Hip

The Strictly Hip Masters of the music of The Tragically Hip -- Performing the music of The Hip all over North America MASTERS OF THE MUSIC OF THE TRAGICALLY HIP Since 1996, The Strictly Hip have been evangelists, spreading the good word of The Tragically Hip's music far and wide.

Taking an almost academic and studious approach to performing the music of Canada's most popular band, The Strictly Hip are not a campy 'impersonator' tribute band. This is the music of The Tragically Hip presented with reverence, respect, and accuracy. Play air guitar.. sing-a-long... play drums on the table. Celebrate the music of The Tragically Hip with a fist in the air and an arm around your buddy. The Strictly Hip bring the soundtrack of a million camp fires, road trips, and backyard parties to the concert stage.

A really cool article on Buffalo Rising about The Strictly Hip’s drummer, Steve Padin...

Often times, with these "Backstage" features, the subject at hand is poised to take leaps professionally. For drummer Steve Padin though, he just did it, and right out of the gate too. The KenTon area native has found himself performing all around the world, for several acts, and for his own g
