I am excited to share a replay of my guest appearance on The School of Hip Podcast! ------------ For the Season Two kickoff episode of School of Hip (check out the cool new logo!) Chaz n’ Heath talk GEDFest, an annual concert event dedicated to the memory of the late, iconic Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie, which raises funds for various charities in the fight against cancer. Now in its ninth year, GEDFest, which began as a grassroots Calgary event, has blossomed into a 12-city extravaganza with GEDFest gigs across Canada between October 16 and 24, from Vancouver to St. John’s, Newfoundland. The growing festival has even expanded into the United States, with this year’s first American show being held Oct. 21 in Buffalo, New York. To date, GEDFest has raised $732,000 for cancer charities, and this year they’re aiming to cross the $1M mark! From its inception, all GEDFest headliners have been bands from the Tragically Hip tribute band community, and that includes Calgary’s Trickle Down, whose drummer just happens to be the founder of GEDFest, and one of this episode’s guests, Keith Dyck. Also joining us is fellow podcaster Sara J. of the excellent Dropped Among This Crowd (DATC) podcast. Sara is the organizer of this year’s Buffalo GEDFest show, featuring highly-in-demand New York Hip tribute act The Strictly Hip. Talk includes the origins and expansion of GEDFest, the robust and ever-growing universe of Tragically Hip tribute bands, and a look at an inspired series of Hip-themed mini-shows on Sara’s DATC podcast, Tangentially Hip.
