The Hip Replacements and Texas Major

Opening: Texas Major

Formed in 2023, this two piece rock band flew out of the gates, selling out local venues with a dynamic live performance.

Based out of Kelowna, B.C, they quickly built a following of rock lovers with the release of their newest single “Back on Track”. The new single grabbing attention from radio stations and listeners across Canada and beyond.
