On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet Gord Sinclair. Best known as the bass player and one of the songwriters in The Tragically Hip, he is now a \u201creluctant solo artist\u201d with a new album pon the way.\n\nHis new single \u201cGool Guy\u201d marks a continuation of the solo career he never anticipated embarking on before the 2017 passing of The Tragically Hip frontman Gord Downie. Following decades of music-making with the band\u2019s frontman, Gord Sinclair continues to honour his friend through music.\n\nThe new song is the follow-up to his debut solo project, 2020\u2019s Taxi Dancers, which was released to critical acclaim, and brings back a more rhythmic and driving rock \u2018n roll energy that just might put you in the mind of The Hip.\n\nThen, bestselling M\xe9tis author Cherie Dimaline stops by. Her breakout book, The Marrow Thieves, has been widely acclaimed for its portrayal of Indigenous colonization and ecological devastation and was named one of Time magazine's top 100 YA novels of all time and her other novels, like Empire of Wild and Hunting By Stars have won many awards, including the Governor General's Award for English-language children's literature.\n\nHer new book, VenCo is a novel about a coven of modern-day witches. It is an epic adventure that unfolds involving secret witches, witch hunters, magic spoons and an epic road trip from Toronto, to Salem, through Appalachia and into New Orleans.
