Although Gordon Downie is recognized mainly for his singer/songwriter capabilities, The Tragically Hip's front man has also ventured into poetry, video directing, and even the occasional cameo on a Canadian sitcom or a movie about a men's curling league. He was born on Feburary 6th, 1964 in Amherstview, Ontario. As a child he always had a keen ear for music and while all the other kids were spending their allowance on baseball trading cards, he was purchasing vinyl in the 45 inch form from the fathers of rock'n'roll. He was brought up in Amherstview, Ontario and went on to study at Queen's University, however, graduated from Kingston Collegiate and Vocational Institute in 1982. He now resides in Toronto happily married to a loving wife, and together have children. While at Kingston Collegiate he met Paul Langlois, Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair and Johnny Fray, the four guys that now make up one of Canada's best and most influential rock groups. The Tragically Hip was formed the following year and has been very successful since then bringing home multiple awards - Juno's and Grammy's among them. In 2002, the band was given a sidewalk star among the likes of Rush, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. In 2005, they were inducted into the Canadian Hall of Fame. Presently, the band has been called the long reigning kings of Canadian rock'n'roll. With their easy going campfire and front porch vibe, they capture a rare sound, and Gord delivers a powerful message through his meaningful lyrics which most would say is distinctive to The Hip.
