The HIP Experience didn’t just set out to cover the Tragically Hip — they set out to be the Tragically Hip. Since 2017, frontman Derek Lathrop and a hand-picked crew of Toronto heavy-hitters — Dave Deveaux (lead guitar/vocals), Ian B Garcia (rhythm guitar/vocals), Paul Whiteside (bass/vocals) and Dale Harrison (drums) — have been taking the Hip’s catalog from coast to coast, nailing the details and the deep-cut nuances that only lifers catch.
They were among the first to turn a pandemic hotel into a rock venue with Hotels Live, and they’ve been festival staples ever since, delivering high-voltage sets that channel Gord Downie’s wild-eyed poetry and pulsing heart. Sometimes they run the songs in chronological order, tracing the band’s evolution like a living, breathing mixtape. Every show is a reminder: the Hip weren’t just a band — they were a voice for Canada’s soul, and for Indigenous truth-telling. The HIP Experience carries that torch, and they’re not letting it dim.
