Hippocampus positions intimate, personal songwriting and vocals amid a joyous backdrop of simple instrumentation, creating songs that are at once familiar and unfamiliar. Captivating in their live performances, the music is ambitious. They ask their audience quiet questions about the meaning of work, the power of redemption, and the urgency of life. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ................................ Conceived in 1998 evolved from a chance meeting through a house party jam. The band began learning their craft by playing mostly cover material, with a handful of their own compositions thrown in. Together they toured across the Delaware Valley, and they discovered the power and resonance of live performance in welcome settings such as the Deer Park Tavern, East End Cafe, IronHill Brewery, and Logan House. .. The band took a three-year hiatus to explore the depths of their musical abilities. During this period, Tom embarked on a personal journey to complete an album of his music which became Diamond State. Along the way, he asked for help from his old mates, who had been pursuing their own creative passions in unique ways... What they discovered was that their shared past experience, coupled with their own personal growth as humans and as musicians, led them to discover a new and more focused voice from which to communicate to an audience. This discovery has invigorated the group, and they are setting forth on a new creative path, in search of new listeners for their musical creations. HIPPOCAMPUS music for your long term memory....
