The Tragically Hip are a truly Canadian group and are helping out fellow musicians. They started selling special face masks last summer, with the title of one of their iconic songs “Courage” to help raise funds to help Canadian musicians and their crews who, hit hard since they couldn’t tour because of COVID-19.
The reusable, non-medical cloth masks were a huge seller and have raised more than $40,000 in support of the Unison Benevolent Fund, that provides counselling and emergency services to Canada’s music industry.
The song Courage(for Hugh MacLennan) has become one of the band’s biggest hits.
