MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

As we come to the end of another (busy!) year, I want to take the opportunity to thank all of you who have come to the shows and/or purchased music or merchandise. In 2011, we played a record number of Costello & Hipps shows and Tom Hipps Trio shows, and we've had a blast. The Tom Hipps & the Shakers band made its debut last New Year's Eve at Westfield Golf Club in Winona MN, and will return there this NYE for another swingin' party. The Tom Hipps Trio will appear at Piggy's in LaCrosse WI on Friday, December 23. We will be playing several Christmas songs that night... should be a fun way to usher in the Holiday. As always, I like to remind everyone to keep Christ at the center of the Season... after all, it's his birthday we're celebrating! (One final note: We will likely be taking the entire month of January off to rest, recharge, and work on NEW music!)
