The Slip Hippies - Live Performance

Overview

The Slip Hippies are an acoustic cover duo that brings a full, polished sound to weddings, cocktail hours, corporate events, and private parties. Two voices, guitar, and light percussion give you real live music at a comfortable volume, so guests can talk and enjoy the night instead of shouting over a loud band. We read the room, easy during dinner and lively when it is time to sing along. Our set spans classic rock, 80s, country, beach and island, soul and Motown, and 90s and 2000s favorites, and we happily take requests and learn first-dance songs. Self-contained, dependable, and easy to work with. We would love to be part of your night.

What to expect

When you book The Slip Hippies, you get two seasoned musicians who make your event easy from first email to last song. We arrive early, set up quickly, and handle our own sound so you never have to worry about the music.

During the event you get a full, polished acoustic sound at a volume that fits the room. We keep it easy and in the background during dinner and cocktails, then build the energy when it is time for people to get up and sing along. We take requests on the spot and can learn a special song ahead of time for a first dance or a key moment.

Typical setup includes two vocalists, guitar, and light percussion, with our own compact PA. We are flexible on set lengths, breaks, and timing to match your schedule, and we dress to fit the event. Whether it is a wedding, a cocktail hour, a corporate party, or a gathering by the water, you can expect professional, reliable, crowd-pleasing live music and a team that is genuinely easy to work with.

About

The Slip Hippies are an acoustic cover duo based in Annapolis, Maryland, made up of two longtime musicians who love turning an ordinary night into something people remember. With two voices, guitar, and light percussion, we deliver a full, polished sound that fills a room without overpowering it, so your guests can talk, toast, and enjoy the moment while still getting real live music.

Our set list spans generations and keeps every kind of crowd happy: classic rock, 80s hits, country, beach and island, soul and Motown, and 90s and 2000s favorites. We read the room and shape the energy to fit it, easy and in the background during dinner or cocktails, then lifted and lively when it is time for people to sing along. Requests are always welcome, and we are happy to learn a special song for a first dance or a key moment.

We play weddings, cocktail hours, corporate events, private parties, and waterfront gatherings all around the Chesapeake Bay area. We are fully self-contained, bringing our own compact PA and keeping the volume comfortable for the space. We show up on time, dress for your event, handle our own sound from setup to breakdown, and make the whole thing easy on you and your venue.

If you want live music that makes the night without taking it over, we would love to be part of your event.
