It’s not every day that you get to interview the guitarist for one of your favorite bands of all time. But the goal of this podcast is to tickle ourselves, so a few months ago, we decided to see if we could make it happen. We succeeded. Paul Langlois is a founding member of Canada’s seminal rock band, The Tragically Hip. He’s also the leader of the newly-constituted Paul Langlois Band, who just released their debut album (and his third solo album), Guess What, this past summer. Humble, thoughtful, genuine, and downright funny, Langlois shares stories about how he got his start in music, his decades playing with The Hip, as well as the challenges of moving from the side to the front of the stage. He also reveals a thing or two about songwriting in the clutch. It’s all very ticklish stuff. Listen up!
