Willie Thrasher and Linda Saddleback / Budget Shoes / HIP 30 / The Strombo Show / CBC Radio 2

*At the tail end of September, Willie Thrasher, Linda Saddleback, Malcolm Jack, and yours truly entered the Lido shed studio to record two songs. First was a cover of Gord Downie, The Sadies, and The Conquering Sun's "Budget Shoes" for HIP 30, a celebration of Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip on George Stroumboulopoulos' The Strombo Show. Next was a new Thrasher original, "The Sacred Fire Of Peace" (*more on that later!). Starting the year off w/ a heavyweight collection of Canadian and Indigenous talent, HIP 30 airs tomorrow night (January 1, 2017) on CBC Radio 2 from 8 pm - 12 am nationwide. We hope that you enjoy our tribute to Gord and The Sadies. We made it as we share it, w/ love... PEACE
