I usually avoid the Junos like the plague, but I'll be tuning in tonight just to see Gord's tribute with Sarah Harmer and Dallas Green.

Introduce Yerself won for best adult alternative album, and Gord won songwriter of the year (along with Kevin Drew) at the non-televised ceremony last night. Also sounds like there will be more Gord solo releases in the near future.

Gord Downie, the late Tragically Hip frontman, won adult alternative album of the year posthumously and also shared songwriter of the year with Kevin Drew. His brothers, Patrick and Mike, accepted the award, advocating for more attention on Indigenous rights and issues facing the population.

"I can feel it, this country is changing," said Mike Downie. "And it's changing for the better."

They also told media backstage that there's "stuff still to come" from Gord Downie's musical offerings.

"There's a lot of material that he was doing all along, a lot of material he created after he found out he was going to die and there's a lot of archival material," said Pat Downie.
