A new hip tradition is starting across Canada.

Inspired by an initial Tragically Hip cross-country sing-along last week, band guitarist Paul Langlois is encouraging all Canadians to join him virtually in a second B次元官网网址楶orch SessionB次元官网网址� April 2 at 6 p.m. EST- 3 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.

The virtual sing-along came about from an idea by Montreal comedian Joey Elias who put a call out on social media (inspired by the sights and sounds of ItalyB次元官网网址檚 serenades) for Canadians to B次元官网网址渟ing from the rooftops.B次元官网网址�

Last week, he asked people to sing Courage by the Hip.

B次元官网网址淚t was just an idea that came together; thereB次元官网网址檚 so many people indoors, so much gloom, and I thought courage was the perfect word,B次元官网网址� said Elias. B次元官网网址淎s a comedian, IB次元官网网址檝e got nothing going on right now. My job is to get up on stage and let people forget about their world for B次元官网网址榵B次元官网网址� amount of time, so I thought this is one way to do that.B次元官网网址�

This week, Langlois is performing Ahead By A Century.

He is asking all Canadians to head to their porch (or any place outside), sing along and send a video of the sing-along to courage4canada@gmail.com

B次元官网网址淭he reaction has been so overwhelming; this is what social media should be used for,B次元官网网址� Elias told Black Press. ThereB次元官网网址檚 a wonderful reaction - thatB次元官网网址檚 the Hip community - thatB次元官网网址檚 what it was like on the last tour.B次元官网网址�
