Celebrating the music of The Tragically Hip this weekend. I feel lucky that I was the perfect age for Hip when they hit and was able to get to some shows. If I'm honest though, it wasn't an instant hit for me. For a long time I just didn't really dig it. Eventually though I discovered them and their unique sound. The first show did it for me. After that I was all in and was able to see them a few times after that.
With the current music climate you have to wonder if they'd even make it in today's world? A truly Canadian band who told the stories of our country.
