artist mip

In May 2010, 3 eclectic Canadian musicians came together to play a “totally mipped out” set at the El Mocambo. Though Mip is the title artist and songwriter, it is by the powers of mip, percussionist Jaash Singh (Om Laila, Lemon Bucket Orkestra, Blind Cats), and bassist Greg Kowalczyk (Blind Cats, Skullians) combined that the Mip Power Trio is in full force.

Smart lyrics, quirky melodies, dynamic arrangements, and explosive live performances only begin to define the Mip Power Trio experience. Mip is a champion of neo-retro rock n' roll embodying the spirit of vintage rock and the heart and soul of an eccentric minstrel.

Mip independently released a solo 6-song EP –Caught in Between—in early 2010. The EP was co-produced by Eric Hogg in Victoria BC and has found an audience across Canada that describes it as “fun, fast and filled with high energy that is infectious to the listener.” But that isn't the end of it. The Mip Power Trio has plans for a recording project in mid-late 2011...so stay tuned.

Solo, Mip has performed on stage with the likes of Juno and Grammy Award winning Alex Cuba and has toured with the soulful, slide-guitar-conquering Rachelle van Zanten (formerly of Painting Daisies).  Since the formation of the Mip Power Trio the band has played numerous shows around Toronto and surrounding areas. In July 2011 the Mip Power Trio will be invading BC for a mini tour and as a headlining act for Midsummer Music Festival 2011 (Smithers, BC).
