The HIP Experience

The HIP Experience was formed in 2017 shortly after the passing of Gord Downie, singer of the Tragically Hip in October of that year. The band was originally put together for a memorial tribute concert to the Canadian Icon. Frontman Derek Lathrop leads a group of Toronto’s finest players; Dave Deveaux on lead guitar/vocals, Albert Carraro on rhythm guitar/vocals, Doug Elash on bass/vocals and Rob Wells on drums. The Hip Experience is a crowd favorite at festivals with their high energy delivery of the Tragically Hips music.

Together, this band realized what decades of experience can accomplish. Often playing the songs in chronological order, the HIP Experience has been travelling Canada spreading the gospel of one of the Nation’s ageless prophets and voice for indigenous people’s, Gord Downie.

The HIP Experience performs live at Buffalo Iron Works on Saturday, September 14th! Click here to purchase tickets.
