Combining elements of Midwest rock, Blues, Texas Rock, Jazz, Funk, and even Bluegrass, the five members of The HipNecks have conjured a sound all their own," says The Vox, Magazine. That sound has been called a "jambalaya" by press and "country fried jam" by fans alike. Take it from the name, The HipNecks, which combines the words "Hippies" and "Rednecks" as affectionally as it unites trucker hats and flip-flops.

Incorporating catchy vocal harmonies, acoustic rhythm guitars, acoustic and electric lead guitars, harmonica, mandolin, bass guitar, drums, hand percussion, piano, organ, and sax; their music must speak for itself. As musical genres and the groups they encompass become increasingly segregated, The HipNecks' crossover approach has become radically diverse. They like a wide variety of genres, and they all write music. It shows. Although they are all in their twenties, they incorporate aspects of music well before our time with what you hear everywhere today. Over the past several years, this "jambalaya" has simmered into a cohesive style that's American like only a mutt can be and has been well received by all ages.
