From: Lethbridge, Alberta
In recognition of Secret Path Week, which takes place from October 17 to 22nd, Leeroy Stagger has re-released his song for Gord Downie. He met Downie after The Tragically Hip’s show during the Fully Completely Tour.
We caught up with Leeroy this week as he continues to tour in the United States.
Listen below to hear his Gord Downie story that involved a hockey dressing room. He also shared with us more about what it’s like listening to Gord’s music now, and being in the Canadian music now that he is gone.
Here’s the official video for the song, which was done by Newmarket artist Kurt Swinghammer. Proceeds from his “Medicine Hat” paintings go to The Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack Fund.
