• Sunday Evening Jam - April 6th

  🎸 Are Tribute Bands Just About the Music? Or Is There More to It?In this week’s episode of The Sunday Evening Jam, jD and Sara J are joined by fellow membersHIP friends Andrew Schmidt and Jeff Tucker for a lively discussion on a hot topic among TTH fans — Tribute Bands.Fresh from a night out seeing The Strictly Hip, the crew unpacks everything from the energy of live performances, the importance of authenticity, and what separates a great tribute band from the rest. From killer guitar solos to carefully chosen setlists, it’s all on the table. We talk the line between homage and imitation, how a tribute act can capture (or miss) the unique magic of Gord Downie, and what it means to keep the legacy of The Hip alive.Topics Include:• What makes a good Tragically Hip tribute band?• How much is too much when it comes to imitation?• The difference between a cover band vs tribute band• Why The Hip’s music lends itself (or doesn’t) to tribute performances• A review of The Strictly Hip show experience• Community, nostalgia, and keeping Gord’s spirit aliveWhether you’re a diehard Hip fan or a curious music lover, this episode offers a heartfelt (and sometimes hilariously honest) take on how we celebrate bands we love after they’re gone.🎟️ And don’t forget — A Celebration of The Hip for ALS is coming this October!Join us in Toronto on October 4, 2025 for a live event like no other, featuring:• The finale of The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown• A killer live Hip tribute band• A legendary silent auction• And more…It’s all in support of The ALS Society of Canada, honouring our dear friend Matt.💥 Early Bird Tickets are available now — but not for long!Secure yours at: dewvre.com/tthtop40Let’s keep the music playing.
