The Mother Hips w/Brian Wurch Band
Shank Hall 1434 N. Farwell Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202
After generating buzz by playing jammy shows at college parties on the California State University Chico campus in the early ’90s, The Mother Hips were signed by Rick Rubins’ American Recordings label while they were still students. Though the breezy rock band’s stint on the label was short, gigs with kindred spirits The Black Crowes and on Blues Travelers’ H.O.R.D.E. festival helped them secure their fanbase, and a quarter century later they continue to tour. Last year the group released its 10th record, Chorus.
