This week, jD sits down with Ian from Maple Ridge, a lifelong music fanatic who got introduced to The Tragically Hip in the most unexpected way—by an ex. From that moment on, Ian was hooked—spinning every album on release day, breaking down Gord Downie’s lyrics, and eventually stepping into the spotlight as the frontman of Gift Shop, a Hip tribute band that’s bringing those legendary songs to life.

But wait—there’s more!
