Tragically Hip - Bobby Baker interview

Canadian rock heroes The Tragically Hip are yet more proof that building your career regionally, one show at a time, can lead to the big time.

Even after a major record label president caught their live act and signed the band, it still took several years and a handful of albums to reach major international acclaim
