The group released their first album, The Tragically Hip, in 1987 and have since released thirteen studio albums, earning two diamond certifications and twenty #1 hits. They have won 14 Juno awards and were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2005. The Tragically Hip have also received honorary degrees from the Royal Conservatory of Music, and the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.
Known for their powerful, energetic live performances, The Hip have established a demanding concert itinerary, touring extensively in Canada, the U.S., and Europe.
