The Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip are forthright folks who have consistently made great music for 30-plus years. Canadian home grown music.

Forming in 1984 in Kingston, Ontario, the Tragically Hip began as a project between Gord Sinclair and Rob Baker, who met as students. Eventually, they joined up with Downie and Fay and started gigging around Kingston and named their band after a skit in the 1981 film Elephant Parts.
