An early winter storm might have been raging outside the doors of Ottawa’s Bronson Centre, but inside it was dark, sweaty and loud – all in a good way, because celebrated singer turned actor-producer Hugh Dillon was in the house with fellow Headstones members for the first of two O-town shows on the Flight Risk tour!
The Headstones – December 1st, 2022
When you hear the iconic Canadian band The Headstones… what do you think? Do you think “Oh, just another rock band creating noise?” or are you like me who thinks “This is the Tragically Hip of punk rock!”. (Coincidentally, Hugh Dillon grew up playing hockey with Paul Langlois; future guitarist of the Tragically Hip).

In Conversation with Hugh Dillon
I had a chance to chat with, in my personal opinion, one of the very best frontmen of any rock act in the 90’s and likely even to date in Canada. Hugh Dillon was leader of the fist pumpin’, beer chuggin’ & hard rockin’ crowds in the 90’s right across Canada for the band, Headstones. The band took a brief hiatus to regain some steam and hit the ground running for their second lap 5 or 6 years back. If you don’t know who the Headstones are keep reading; you’re about to get educated. And if you do, keep reading. Hugh gives one hell of a interview. As a general disclaimer, this is a conversation more than an interview, because Hugh is someone you talk with, not to.
