Surrounded by trees on three sides and water on the fourth, Tragically Hip's studio, The Bathouse, is a setting without distraction. The silence of the vast lake provided the perfect tone for what was to occur. The creation would begin when each song was first played in the studio’s kitchen by Josh with a guitar and Andy’s voice — many of these songs heard by the larger group for the first time.

After a quick huddle, the musicians would move to their stations. There was little time to think. Most importantly, there was little time to overthink. What followed was instinct. What unfolded is a magical euphoric reflection of the chemistry that these musicians have developed over years of beautiful nights in the nation’s most beautiful soft seaters and the country’s most gin soaked bar rooms. Yes, their sound has evolved. The acoustic guitar, harmony-guided Skydiggers sound of our youth is still an arrow that is in the band’s quiver, but now there is more.
 

Led by original bandmates Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson, and featuring Noel Webb on drums, Derrick Brady on bass, Jessy Bell Smith on vocals, Aaron Comeau on guitars, and Michael Johnston on keyboards, "Dreams & Second Chances" reveals these Skydiggers at the peak of their ability - a collective with the intrinsic ability of finish each others musical sentences and weave a sound that is uniquely their own.
