The Tragically Hip
Since forming in Kingston, Ontario in 1984, The Tragically Hip’s Rob Baker, Gord Downie, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, and Gord Sinclair have done more than make music; they’ve helped define the sound and spirit of a nation. With iconic songs like “Ahead By A Century,” “Bobcaygeon,” “New Orleans Is Sinking,” and “Wheat Kings,” their catalogue is woven into the fabric of Canadian culture.
Paul Dean & Mike Reno (Loverboy)
Loverboy, driven by the songwriting partnership of Mike Reno and Paul Dean, rose to prominence after forming in Calgary in 1979, becoming one of Canada’s most successful rock acts and shaping the sound of mainstream rock through songs like “Working for the Weekend” and “Turn Me Loose”.
Leslie Feist
Leslie Feist has built an internationally acclaimed career defined by originality and a singular songwriting voice. A four-time Grammy nominee and fourteen-time JUNO Award winner, her breakthrough album The Reminder achieved multi-platinum status and included the global hit “1234,” while Metals won the Polaris Music Prize and was named Album of the Year by The New York Times.
Roch Voisine
With a career spanning decades, Roch Voisine has built a global audience through songs such as “Hélène,” “Always Be There,” and “Darlin’,” becoming one of Canada’s most successful bilingual songwriters.
