SiriusXM Canada, the country’s leading audio entertainment company, started Summer 2021 with The Tragically Hip Summer Kick-Off Town Hall, featuring Rob Baker, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, Gord Sinclair, and Patrick Downie. The band also sat down for a live discussion and interview, premiering their new album Saskadelphia.
This exclusive event live stream on The Tragically Hip’s social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and TikTok, alongside SiriusXM Canada’s Facebook, Instagram and YouTube channels, and The Tragically Hip Radio (ch. 757) – the band’s one and only official channel – which took over The Verge (ch. 173) all weekend long.
Hosted by SiriusXM Canada’s Jeff Leake, SiriusXM’s The Tragically Hip Summer Kick-Off Town Hall showcased the band, live from their respective homes, and virtually together again for their first public interview since June 2020. In an intimate conversation, Rob, Johnny, Paul, Gord, and Patrick reminisced about long weekends past, discussed their upcoming JUNO Awards performance with Feist, reflected on their 2021 Humanitarian Award, and shared key insights into the making of Saskadelphia.
