We grew up on the music of The Tragically Hip. We played it in our first bands, and it became a part of us. When Gord Downie's illness hit the headlines, we knew we had to take action. We decided to host a Fundraiser in December 2016 in our hometown, Charlottetown, to raise money for Gord.
From the very first rehearsal, we knew we had something special. The energy was undeniable, and it didn't take long after that first show for the word to spread like wildfire. Since then, we’ve performed in front of tens of thousands and cultivated an incredible following of our own.
We have a profound respect for The Hip, their music, and what it means to their fans and we know we have a responsibility to deliver it properly or not at all. We're not here to imitate or impersonate; our mission is to recreate that indescribable experience of being at an authentic Hip show. We strive to capture every musical and vocal nuance, ensuring that the essence of the music remains intact.
In a twist of fate, our lead singer, Dennis Ellsworth, forged a genuine friendship with Gord Downie himself. Their connection led to an extraordinary collaboration—a musical rendition of Gord's poignant poem, "Coke Machine Glow," which found its place on Dennis's Hazy Sunshine album. The recording took place at none other than The Tragically Hip's renowned Bathhouse Studio in Bath, ON.
Join us on this remarkable journey as we pay homage to The Tragically Hip and share our love for their music. Let's create unforgettable moments together, channelling the spirit of those legendary shows that touched our souls. Together, we'll keep the music alive, celebrating the magic that made The Tragically Hip an iconic force in Canadian music history.
