Tribute

In Support of the Downie Wenjack Fund

To truly pay tribute to The Tragically Hip and honour Gord Downie’s legacy we must use the power of the Hip’s music to raise money and awareness for great causes.

This is why we are proud to announce this event as part of our series of concerts in support of the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. Gord Downie asked us to, “do something” and so we shall.

Like all devoted fans of The Tragically Hip, we are united by the powerful soundtrack that has woven itself into the fabric of our lives. We aim to evoke those cherished memories and emotions that are forever linked to The Hip’s music, while honouring the indelible legacy of Gord Downie. We don’t imitate, we celebrate! No one can truly replicate Gord Downie’s unique spirit. We celebrate his memory, by delivering a passionate and sincere tribute to Canada’s most beloved band.

Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and get ready to immerse yourself in the music of The Tragically Hip and raise money for a great cause.

In Gord We Trust

Matt Weidinger has assembled a group of Canada's finest musicians to perform an unforgettable evening of music with “It’s Too Late To Stop Now - The Music of Van Morrison”. After discovering Van’s music at a young age, Matt was blown away by not only the prolific songwriter's 46 studio albums but also by the charismatic, improvised and energetic live performances Van has displayed over his 60 year career. Although Matt's production is reflective of Van’s early 70’s touring band, this show features songs from every era of his illustrious career including early hits like ‘Gloria/Here Comes the Night” to later chart toppers such as “Days Like This” and everything in between. This show has been described by many as not only a concert but a powerful musical journey that engages every one in the audience.
