It's Tragically Hip To Be Square At The Village
The Tragically Hip
Over the course of a twenty-year recording career, The Tragically Hip have racked up both a singular body of music and an impressive array of career accomplishments. Since the late '80s, the band have sold in excess of 5 million copies in their native Canada alone. The group of five longtime friends (Gord Downie - vocals, Gord Sinclair - bass, Paul Langlois - rhythm guitar, Rob Baker - lead guitar, Johnny Fay - drums) from Kingston, Ontario formed in 1986. Having cultivated something of a 'local legend' status, the quintet have toured Europe with The Rolling Stones, and traversed the U.S. with Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. They've appeared as musical guests on Saturday Night Live, and played the Saturday main stage at the 1999 Woodstock festival. Their remarkably loyal fans frequently travel hundreds of miles all over North America to follow The Hip (as they're known to devotees) from city to city. Irish fans can travel to The Village on December 4th.
