The Tragically Hip, Feist to enter Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame

TORONTO — Toronto's indie music scene mainstay Feist and Kingston alt-rock legends the Tragically Hip are among the musical acts set to be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame tonight.

Tonight, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame will be inducting two notable acts: the Canadian indie singer-songwriter Feist and the Kingston rock band Tragically Hip. Leaning on her signature hits "1234" and "You and I," which she co-wrote with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy, Feist will be celebrated alongside her fellow inductees. Tragically Hip, known for their gritty alt-rock sound, will have their performance of songs from their discography led by Jay Baruchel.

Finneas, Billie Eilish's older brother and collaborator, will perform alongside Feist at the gala held at Toronto's prestigious Massey Hall. The event, hosted by broadcaster George Stroumboulopoulos and singer Marie-Mai, will also feature performances by Amanda Marshall, Allison Russell, and Charlotte Cornfield. Other inductees include the songwriting duo behind Loverboy, Mike Reno and Paul Dean, as well as French-Canadian singer-songwriter Roch Voisine.

Special guest Boi-1da, longtime producer for Drake, will make a surprise appearance. The ceremony, set to be broadcast live globally through Amazon Music Twitch and on Prime Video in Canada, will also recognize Olympic hockey gold medalists Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey.
