\n The #1 National Bestseller<\/p>\n

Shortlisted for the 2019 Speaker\u2019s Book Award<\/p>\n

Nominated for the 2019 Heritage Toronto Book Award<\/p>\n

\u201cBarclay combines his admiration of the band with his knowledge of the music industry to make a clever, touching, and very informative book that may well be the definitive work on an important piece of Canadian pop culture.\u201d \u2014 Publishersweekly.com, starred review<\/p>\n

The long-awaited, first-ever print biography of Canada\u2019s band!<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2016, more than a third of Canadians tuned in to watch what was likely the Tragically Hip\u2019s final performance, broadcast from their hometown of Kingston, Ontario. Why? Because these five men were always more than just a band. They sold millions of records and defined a generation of Canadian rock music. But they were also a tabula rasa onto which fans could project their own ideas: of performance, of poetry, of history, of Canada itself.<\/p>\n

In the first print biography of the Tragically Hip, Michael Barclay talks to dozens of the band\u2019s peers and friends about not just the Hip\u2019s music but about the opening bands, the American albatross, the band\u2019s role in Canadian culture, and Gord Downie\u2019s role in reconciliation with Indigenous people. When Downie announced he had terminal cancer and decided to take the Hip on the road one more time, the tour became another Terry Fox moment; this time, Canadians got to witness an embattled hero reach the finish line.<\/p>\n

This is a book not just for fans of the band: it\u2019s for anyone interested in how culture can spark national conversations. <\/p>\n
