Our Cover Band Story & Hip Tribute Bands
Little Bones Ottawa is a weekend band that predominately covers the music of The Tragically Hip.  In addition to supporting various charities when we can, we also like to promote local original acts by having them share the stage with us to get exposure.  While we have not yet been successful in helping a new band make it big, there is one story we'd like to share:

In 1986, a Rolling Stones Tribute band called The Blushing Brides was playing at Larry's Hideaway in Toronto, and the opening band was The Tragically Hip.  This gig provided an opportunity for The Hip to be seen by Jake Gold and Alan Gregg of Jacob J. Gold & Associates, and they subsequently signed The Hip after the show.  Cool.
