We have had tons of people asking us where we found them! The songs they learned on our behalf were very well done also.
All in all they were exactly what we were looking for when we booked a wedding band and helped to make our wedding night so fun and so memorable!
Thank you for your help with the booking process, etc.

Mike,
I cannot say enough positive things about the band Hip Shack. They were true professionals and extremely talented. At my request, they took the time to learn a Taylor Swift song for my daughter and then played all Taylor Swift songs during a break. That was really thoughtful.
Each member interacted with our guests. This band is made up of great people you can easily welcome into your homes. They became more friends than a hired band. Scott was so gracious in texts leading up to the event. And I had a really nice chat with Chris, a lovely gentleman with a kind heart. He was an instant friend.
They welcomed a kid from down the street to play sax and let my daughter and guests play tambourine. That was so nice of them.
I had no idea they drove from Charlotte and I hope to schedule them for my birthday celebration in Rocktober in North Carolina.
Mike, these folks are really nice and it was our pleasure to get to know them. Great musicians but even better people.
I highly recommend Hip Shack for any event.
Respectfully,
Bill Gibb

Hipshack was amazing! The instrumental music at the ceremony and cocktail hour was beautiful and set the perfect tone for this intimate setting. Then they moved to the reception and had the dance floor rocking with a great selection of music that appealed to the young crowd as well as the adults. Several of the adults commented to me that it was the first wedding they had been to where they actually enjoyed the reception music! They kept the crowd, young and old, entertained with a great selection of songs.
As far as to work with, they were extremely accommodating, very professional, worked completely independent which was awesome. As mother of the bride I never had to give them any direction, which made my job easier. Please tell them how much we appreciated them being part of our magical weekend and we are happy to provide them any referrals if ever needed.

We had a great experience with Hipshack! They were extremely easy to work with and followed through with all of our requests! One of the reasons we chose them was based on their ability to play the kind of music we were looking for (70s/80s and classic rock as well as the ability to play a variety of songs our guests would enjoy). They really hit it out of the park. We had some many guests compliment the band! We loved every song played and they played great versions of our request songs. Everything was set up perfectly and on time and my communications with Scott and Brandon were great and professional. We really appreciate them playing at our wedding! We had a wonderful time!

Hipshack were great. I thought they did an especially nice job handling the walk up music during the awards.

I think we would absolutely hire them again.

We were incredibly happy with the performance Hipshack provided at our wedding. From start to finish, the Hipshack personnel were easy and professional to communicate with, and the band was more than willing to accommodate our musthave and mustnothave songs! The band was energetic and friendly with our guests, and they made announcements we requested. We paid extra for the saxophone player who was INCREDIBLE, and she even wailed on Mustang Sally, which was above and beyond the bride's favorite performance of the night. Hipshack also accommodated our own very specific playlists for breaks, and they managed hooking them up and timing them perfectly according to our schedule requests. If we could do it all over again, we would definitely invite Hipshack to our wedding again. Money well spent!

Very talented group of people, and provided a nice variety of music...easy and relaxing during the first part of the night while people started filling up, then they turned it up and got the crowd dancing as the night progressed.
I got so many compliments on finding the band. It was also a VERY nice that they provided their own lights. Lighting is everything and I was very happy that it was included with the package. The string lights was also a beautiful touch.
Thanks again Mike for the smooth communication.

Hi Justin,
We cannot say enough great things about HipShack! They were amazing! They had a great song selection, were able to read the crowd, and kept everyone dancing the whole night. They are wonderfully talented and sound great; our guests continue to rave about HipShack even though it’s been a few months since the wedding.
I asked HipShack to learn “Let it Be” for the fatherdaughter dance, and put in a special request that they change the lyrics to “Lizzy D” like my dad always sang to me; as it was a special request, I was not sure if they would do it. On the day of the wedding, they amazed me by singing it with the lyric change! It was a great surprise for my dad, and it ended up being such a special moment that they were able to create. Additionally, my husband and I wanted to have a final dance at the end of the reception after all of our guests cleared out. HipShack was so kind to stay behind and play a song for us.
Communicating with HipShack was so easy. They were very quick to respond, and were professional. They followed our schedule for the reception and were great about taking breaks at times when it would not be disruptive. They are incredibly fun and friendly, and everyone loved them! I would highly recommend them to anyone!
Thank you for all your help, and for recommending HipShack to us! They were perfect!

Hi Mike,
Everything went absolutely perfect. Hipshack was amazing, fantastic, and more than what we could have dreamed for. Multiple guests asked me who the band was because they wanted to book them for future events.
They absolutely nailed all of our first dance songs we asked them to learn Budapest by George Ezra and I was a little worried because George Ezra's voice is so distinct but they played it so well. My favorite moment was when they played Brown Eyed Girl and everyone was up and on the dance floor to honor my mom who just passed away a few months ago.
I could not have asked for a more magical night. My only regret is that we didn't book the room an extra hour to keep dancing the night away. I will leave a review on the knot as well! And I will definitely continue to drop the Sam Hill Entertainment name!

We were amazed at the range of genres they were able to play and felt we could close our eyes and the artist was right there playing. They read the crowd well and kept the dance floor full.

Good evening Andy,
I just submitted at review to The Knot and am happy to share my thoughts with you as well.
Hipshack couldn't have been better! Truly their easygoing nature fit right in with our process, and their willingness to adapt to our circumstances gave us great assurance. Most notably, my wife's 11year old cousin wanted to play guitar and sing during our reception. The folks at Hipshack were totally cool with it and said they'd happily back her up. When she approached them on the day, they only asked what key she wanted to play it in, and gave her all the room she needed to perform. They didn't overanalyze or overcomplicate, and that natural feeling made everything smooth. They did superb for emcee duties as well, and we couldn't have been happier.
I had never booked a band before and had no clue what to expect from an entertainment company. I was very pleasantly surprised at your success in making us feel like your most important clients, especially as we had questions along the way that you likely answer multiple times per day. Sam Hill's website was extremely userfriendly, and being able to watch videos and listen to clips of bands made all the difference for us. These are brilliant features that will make us return to Sam Hill next time we need a band, and we will happily recommend the agency to others.
Thank you for all you did to help make our reception entertaining!
Best,
Nathan Thomas

On behalf of the McMahon and Clayton family I want to thank you and Hipshack for an absolutely wonderful evening. We couldn't have asked for anything else other than the night to continue. From the smooth jazz in the early going and during dinner to beach music and into the upbeat music. The dance floor was packed, which is what we wanted. The sets were full and there was NO wasted time between songs. Truly a professional job by four professionals that cared about their music and it showed. I would recommend Hipshack and Sam Hill Entertainment to anyone for any event.

Andrew,
The Hipshack Band was great! They played a wide variety of music, appealing to all age groups. People were on the dance floor from the first song to the last, having a great time. The owners of the venue asked us for the name of the band so they could pass that information on to a bride from Charlotte planning an upcoming wedding. They also complemented the band members on their respect for the venue property as they unloaded, set up, and packed up at the end of the evening.

They were very helpful and so easy to work with as we planned for special dances and considerate of music preferences. They accepted a few special requests during the evening and also accompanied one guest who asked to perform for the crowd.
We would not hesitate to recommend them.
Thank you,
Cathy Young

The newlyweds are still on their honeymoon but think they will agree that HipShack was great. Our family and guests all said they had a great time listening and dancing to the band. The variety and dispersion of the songs throughout the evening was well thought out and I appreciate HipShack working with our wedding coordinator Hunter Traverse for introductions etc; it allowed us to enjoy the festivities.
It was also easy to work with Sam Hill Entertainment, good checklists, recommendations and timelines for us to work with. Definitely a good value for our money and will be happy to provide a recommendation to other customers and refer friends to you as well.
Again, thank you for making Elizabeth and Kyle's big day a memorable one.

Thanks for reaching out. I'd have to say that Hipshack was fantastic. They were really easy to communicate with, really responsive to any questions, concerns, scheduling issues, etc, not to mention helped facilitate a really funny sort of karaoke by the brides parents!
The music was similarly excellent. They have a really wide range of styles, and are very versatile in performing many different genres. A lot of people came up to me during and after the event to compliment the set list, the band's energy, and their all around performance. They kept the dance floor rocking all night, but also accommodated a quieter set during dinner that was really good but didn't disrupt the dinner atmosphere.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who was interested in a wedding band we could not have been more pleased! They were nice guys, very professional, talented musicians, and put on an amazing show for our big event.
Sam Hill was also really easy to work with, so thanks for your help and communication throughout the process.
All the best, and we certainly will recommend Sam Hill and Hipshack to anyone who needs a wedding or event band.

Hi Andy,
We thought Hipshack was excellent; exactly what we were looking for! My husband is quite particular about music (being a musician and DJ himself) and so the band was extremely important to him. We got numerous compliments from our guests and everyone had a wonderful time. We were especially impressed with Hipshack's range they played everything from pop to country to classic rock and had a great sense for the room. They also did a fabulous job learning and performing our first dance song (an R&B / soul song by John Legend). I should also mention Hipshack was tremendous value for money.
It was so easy to work with Sam Hill and I loved that we could go to one place and have access to multiple bands. My husband liked the website and being able to hear samples / see song lists to easily compare the different bands. The process was transparent and easy even if someone isn't looking for a band like Hipshack I'd still suggest they go to Sam Hill to start.
Best,
Emily

Hi Andy,

We were thrilled with Hipshack. They were awesome. Even after the very first songs, people were coming up to us to say how great Hipshack sounded. We had a handful of guests who are also musicians and every single one of them raved about the music.

Hipshack absolutely exceeded our expectations. They learned extra songs for us, were easy to work with, and were completely professional. Not to mention that they are terrific musicians. People were dancing everywhere not just the dancefloor. My only slight regret from the wedding was that I didn't get a chance to talk to all of the guests... but that was because I could not tear myself away from the dancefloor! I had so, so much fun dancing. Ed also loved the band. He was so happy that they played Piano Man so he could play along a bit with his harmonica. The guys made the night really special for us and we are truly grateful to them.

Hipshack was terrific !! They played a cross section of music and played it all well. During the dinner they played jazzy instrumentals and then when it was time to party, they really cranked it up. Adding the horn player definitely complemented their music. That proved to be a good decision. The band members were very friendly and they graciously allowed one of the groomsman to jam out with them (on his guitar) on an Allman Brothers tune. My brotherinlaw, who is a professional musician said they were very good. He said he could tell, because they did not play too loud and you could hear all the instruments and singers. This was unsolicited praise coming from a very critical music aficionado. We received tons of praise about Hipshack and many people made sure they got their name.

It was a pretty young crowd (mid thirties) and they had the dance floor packed all night. GREAT JOB !! We would recommend them to anyone.

Thanks for the email. Hipshack was great and we really enjoyed them. They played great songs, and everyone loved them. Our friends were trying to pay them to keep playing at the end of the night when they had to shut down. We really appreciated the flexibility they showed to add a female singer, learn the first dance, and the at the last minute add a sax. They were pleasant and easygoing and were even good sports when a buddy who fancies himself a young Bruce Springsteen took the mike tried to sing Born to Run.
We'd definitely recommend Hipshack and Sam Hill to friends getting married in the area. Let me know if you need anything else.

Hipshack was great. They did an awesome job with Ryan Adam's When the Stars Go Blue which is my favorite song and is what I had requested them to learn for our first dance song. I loved how they played it. I had also been nervous about the jazzier songs I wanted played during the cocktail hour and dinner because I though that wasn't Hipshack's sweet spot but my concerns were completely unnecessary because that part of the performance was awesome as well. Even my mom said they really exceeded her expectations. I would not have changed a single thing with Hipshack if I could. My only regret is that I could not thank them myself. Please pass my praises and thanks on to them.
Thanks Andrew!

We were very pleased with Hipshack, and they were very easy to work with. Hipshack did an excellent job of keeping everyone (125150 guests) on the dance floor! Their dress, manners, and crowd appeal were exceptional.
Thank you for following up and asking for my opinion.

Hipshack was FANTASTIC!!! I could try to be more specific, but to be honest, I don't even remember all the songs because we were having so much fun! :) We got a TON of compliments from the guests they were extremely impressed. HIPSHACK had the perfect vibe for us, fit our venue perfectly, and are very good at what they do. WE LOVED OUR FIRST DANCE SONG (Grow Old with Me). We were absolutely thrilled they learned it for us. So great. I don't enough good things to say!! Please feel free to use me as a reference if you ever need one!
Let me know if there is anything else more specific I can tell you that would be helpful :)

Andrew,

Hipshack was perfect. Everybody loved the band and the music they played, and we couldn't have been more pleased. We picked Hipshack for the wedding after watching their promo video, checking out their song lists, and listening to their tracks. Their range seemed unparalleled by any other bands out there. Who else could sing Sinatra, Prince, Temptations, Lady Gaga, Van Halen, Journey, The Band, James Taylor, Springsteen (to name a few)? And they sounded really really good, too. Could I really get dance/funk/motown, jazz standards, certain top 40 hits, and classic rock? It actually seemed too good to be true, and as the day approached I was nervous maybe it was.

Well, as it turned out they actually exceeded expectations. They sounded great in each song, and the volume was PLENTY. People were dancing the entire time, and complimenting the band the whole time. Hipshack was better sounding than in their videos and tracks, and as a bonus they backed me up as I sang (or tried to sing) Born to Run to my bride toward the end of the party. I'm convinced there's no band out there with as much range as Hipshack, who can put on such a great show and pull off all the songs in their list.

I may be biased, but they were the most fun band at any wedding I've been to. Thanks for making the introduction for us, and if anybody ever asks you can tell them I'd fully recommend these guys.

Cheers,
Will

Thanks so much for checking in with me. You were actually on my list of people to contact. The wedding was AWESOME. I felt like it was a fairy tale.
Hipshack was absolutely THE best!!! Everyone loved them. They were all so nice and professional. We asked for a first dance song that they did not have on their playlist. They learned the song and did a great job with it. They had everyone on the dance floor from the first song and kept them out there all night. Hipshack made the reception a great party. They exceeded all my expectations. You were right...very talented bunch. SO happy with our choice!
Ashleigh and I are now friends with Hipshack on Facebook!!!
If I have a need for a band in the future I would love to book Hipshack.
Thank you again for your help.

As a mother of the Bride, the best decision I made was to contact Beth at Sam Hill Entertainment. She led me to an amazing band Hipshack. Led by Scott, Hipshack responded to my inquiry and was a dream to work with. Scott contacted me along the way to be sure we were good to go for the big event. Hipshack had the guests dancing before I even got to the reception. The band was professional and amazing!!! I would recommend them highly.

Oh my gosh! It was awesome!! I've been meaning to send Scott and the rest of the band an email to compliment them, but I still haven't gotten to that yet. everyone, and I mean everyone, was telling us how great the band was all throughout the night. My only regret was that when time was up we could have listened to them play WELL into the wee hours of the morning. We all had a blast, and the band exceeded our expectations. I will be sure to pass the message along to them soon. When all our guests were dancing, happy, and didn't want the party to end, we KNEW we had Hipshack to thank. I wish I'd had the opportunity to thank them individually. They were truly the best band we've seen/heard at a wedding, and we are so lucky that it was our wedding!
Thanks so much for circling back around with us. As I said, I'll contact the band personally to relay a similar message. Thanks to everyone who made this happen, and your agency for always getting back to our questions promptly and in a friendly way. We are lucky to have done business with you. Everyone was asking, WHO is that band?

Andrew,
Just wanted to let you know that Hipshack was absolutely phenomenal! Scott was great to work with during the entire planning process. He took a lot of our input for the playlist and was very adjustable as far as the timing and length of the sets.
Once they started playing you could tell they were going to be very good. Hipshack was a bunch of super talented guys who played everything from Elvis to Cee Lo Green. I've been to a lot of weddings and I've never been as impressed with a band as I was with Hipshack. They were better quality, better energy and better variety than all of the 78 piece bands that I've seen previously. Towards the end of the night they played a full 90 minute set that had everyone up and dancing throughout. The next day every wedding guest was raving about how good Hipshack was and how fun the playlist was.
Can't express enough how great they were. I'd strongly recommend them for weddings in the future. Thanks to you for all your help with the booking process. Our reception venue recommended Sam Hill and I'm glad they did. You guys were great answering all questions I had, and were great about responding quickly with good information. Thanks again for your help,
Erik

They did a great job working the crowd up as well as working off the crowd. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding and reception, including Hipshack.

Hey Scott,
I just wanted to say thanks to you and the guys of HipShack for the awesome job you did at Susan's and my wedding in Beaufort a couple of weeks ago. You guys were extremely professional, accommodating and most of all you kicked ass! I can't remember the last wedding I've seen or been to that had so many participants on the dance floor. At least any wedding with a live band. You guys sounded great and I'm grateful and thankful to have had you play our wedding and reception. And thank you for accepting my fatherinlaw's request to allow my brother sit in for a few songs. He's heard me talk many times about Jim being a drummer and welcomed the opportunity to hear him play live. I hope we didn't step on any toes or offend your drummer, Curtis. I think my brother may have gotten a little overly excited and aggressive on the skins but he was so very appreciative to get to play with such talented musicians. He doesn't get that opportunity very often. Please give Curtis my sincere thanks for allowing Jim to sit in. If I can ever offer a reference for you guys please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to catching you guys out and about around town this summer. I really do enjoy your music. Best of luck in the studio and with upcoming gigs. Can't wait to hear the new stuff. Take care.

Hi Hank and Andy,
Ryan and I got back from our honeymoon a little over a week ago... even though it already feels like we've been back a month!
So, I wanted to make sure I downloaded everything from our evening with Hipshack, and because I know you guys like to post feedback on Web site (I know, I posted some of them!), I wanted to make sure I give them every compliment they deserve because they were really great and I think a perfect choice for the night.
To begin with, Scott was a really excellent communicator over email and very accommodating. Ryan and I really wanted one of our friends, Thomas Gunn, to play and sing our first dance for us and the band gladly accommodated our request. Thomas even sat in for a few more songs with them. My dad really wanted our fatherdaughter dance to be a surprise to me, so they didn't even mind communicating with my father (in addition to working with me) to make sure the night went as we wanted.
As for the actual night, they did exactly what we had hoped start off with some oldies/lower tempo stuff and, then, as it got closer to midnight and the lights went down, move into more funk/ modern stuff. They kept it pretty mainstream for us which was what we wanted: Beatles, Stones, Van Morrison, Springsteen, a really cool mix.
Thanks to you both for all of your help and I hope to run into you both soon,
Maria

Dear Scott,
I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for creating such an awesome party for our New Year's Eve wedding. Not only were you so accommodating up front, but I really felt like you read our crowd and got them out on the dance floor.
I especially want to thank you for allowing us to include Thomas in our big day. I could tell he was in his element up there and I thought everything worked out beautifully! I also want to thank you for working with my dad to work in that American Woman surprise at the beginning of our dance I should have known! American Woman might be his favorite song of all time (and he is from Niagara Falls) so I should have known a Canadian rock band would make it into our wedding somehow!
I hope you had a safe trip home, or a safe trip to your next destination.
Many thanks,

It was FABULOUS. Everyone enjoyed the music but especially the younger people and that is the group that we wanted to please.
Thank you!

Thank you so much for playing my wedding! You all did a great job, especially with our first song! Robbie and I were very impressed, as were our wedding guests! I have gotten so many compliments from many of our guests about the band! I just thought you all should know!
Have a great day! Thank you again!

I just wanted to say that you guys were absolutely wonderful at our wedding last weekend! We had such a good time. Our guests are still raving about how great you guys were. I have given out your name to several people. You really kept the crowd on their feet. Jason and I could not have asked for a better band! We will definitely keep you in mind for future events. Hope all is well. Thanks again for making our wedding such a memorable experience!!!

So many of our friends loved you guys. I can't tell you how many people remarked about your energy packed performance. A lot of my friends who are music snobs were impressed with the array of music you played as well as your talent. Thanks again for everything and I would recommend you guys to anyone who wants a great band for any event.
Take care and God bless

I have been meaning to send you an email and tell you thank you for a job well done. We all had a great time. I especially appreciated the Police songs, and thank you for pulling off old time rock and roll
