THE TRAGICALLY HIP :: CANADA ROCK

The Tragically Hip is a Canadian Rock group that originated in 1983 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and have over the years accumulated many accolades from Canadian music lovers. This original music group has been recognized for its innovative, spirited, roots rock from Canada performing on many stages across the country. I first saw their live performance at a free concert held at the University of Western Ontario in 1991, (the same year the band received the Canadian Entertainer of the Year Award) following the release of their third album, Road Apples.

Having never previously heard of the group (1991), I received a short notice invitation from a few friends (about 8 of us in 1 car) to drive up to London, Ontario and see them live! Without regrets, they were/are one of the most successful and influential bands that performed songs that many Canadians can relate to and identify with as a distinctively Canadian Rock. They are Fantastic live and amazing on so many albums they have continued to produce until the present. If your interested, listen in to more of their music over here. Here's a few of their earlier albums to sample, enjoy the music & keep living life ^_^!
