'Gift Shop - Tribute to The Tragically Hip', live clips from The Roxy, Feb. 17. 2024.
Craig Rogers
Guitar
A rock band wouldn't be complete without a solid rhythm section. Gift Shop couldn’t have asked for a greater talent than Craig Rogers, who plays an instrumental role in the success of the group. Craig prides himself in replicating the driving rhythm, guitar tones, feel, and wonderful back up vocals of Paul Langlois.
Craig A. Brown
Bass Guitar
Craig proves the importance of having a solid “spine” in a rock band. Without the foundation that his bass playing provides, there is no chance at being successful. Steady, consistent, super intelligent and supportive, one could not ask for a better band mate or friend.
Cory Davis
Drums
Without a solid drummer keeping the meter and tempo consistent, there can be no tight band. Cory provides so much to Gift Shop. His dedication to getting the drum sounds and tempo “album correct” are only eclipsed by his professional steadfastness. It also doesn’t hurt that we get to rehearse for free in his basement!!
Alan Cragg
Lead Guitar
Alan is a long time industry professional and veteran of many local rock acts. Gift Shop is lucky to have his creative energy and soulful guitar solos as a highlight to its live performances. Smart, funny and self-deprecating, Alan is a stand out both technically and during live concerts.
Ian McDonnell
Vocals
Ian has always been a big fan of Gord Downie. Long before he decided to join Gift Shop and pay tribute the the Hip, he was influenced by Gord and the band when creating his own music. Gord’s poetic brilliance set the bar for lyric writing and connecting with an audience. His stage presence and charisma were a lofty goal to try and replicate. Not parody, or duplicate, but channel and pay homage to.
