Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. for the release of Gord Downie’s solo project, Secret Path, a a set of songs and a graphic novel honouring Chanie Wenjack, a 12-year-old Ojibway boy who died from exposure after trying to find his way home from a residential school near Kenora 50 years ago.
Downie, who has terminal brain cancer, recently completed a goodbye cross-Canada tour with the Tragically Hip that raised more than $1 million for cancer research.
The tour ended with a nationally-broadcast concert in the band’s home town of Kingston.
The popular musician revealed the Secret Path project, years in the making, when the Hip tour ended.
“Chanie haunts me. His story is Canada’s story,” Downie said in a statement.
The Secret Path project includes 10 songs, and a graphic novel by award-winning author Jeff Lemire.
The album is to be released at a pair of shows, Oct. 18 at the National Arts Centre, then at Toronto’s Roy Thomson on Friday, Oct. 21.
Times and ticket prices for the shows have not been announced.
All proceeds from the shows are going to going to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s efforts.
