(Chipster) The Tragically Hip are proud to be announced as the Record Store Day Canada 2024 Canadian Ambassadors, releasing an exclusive standalone live album, Live at CBGB's, on Record Store Day. The global celebration of the culture of independent record stores takes place this year on April 20, 2024, as it has annually for the last 17 years. This announcement marks the first of many moments this year for The Tragically Hip as they celebrate 40 years as a band.
Live At CBGB's features nine live songs that were originally recorded on January 14, 1993, from the legendary New York venue CBGB's as The Tragically Hip launched their third studio album, Fully Completely, in America with a private event from the intimate space. The band performed the record in full, omitting a few tracks that didn't fit the bill. This concert recording will be available on April 20 for the first time as a 12" pink vinyl at participating record stores in Canada and the US.
"Record Store Day Canada is overjoyed that legendary Canadian band, The Tragically Hip, will be the Record Store Day Canada 2024 Canadian Ambassadors," says Ryan Kerr from Record Store Day Canada.

RSDC is looking forward to contributing to the band's ongoing legacy by releasing Live at CBGB's for Record Store Day 2024.
