This week on The Tragically Hip Top 40 Countdown, I’m joined by Dan from Ottawa to dig into his fandom origins with The Hip and the history of his tribute band, Little Bones. Along the way, we explore the deep grooves of Song 29—a track that’ll take you on a magic carpet ride if you let it. So there’s that.

Dan also sheds light on fascinating interpretations of the song’s lyrics and Gord Downie’s unique storytelling style. Together, we geek out over the band’s later albums and share the joys of keeping The Hip’s music alive on stage.

🔥 Special Highlights:

• The Tragically Hip tribute band Little Bones and their journey

• A fresh take on the iconic Song 29

• Behind-the-scenes stories of meeting The Hip and their lasting influence
