Storytells from the Canadian Musical Journey.
Embark on a journey through the Canadian music industry with ”Northern Echo’s,” a podcast that shares tales, heartfelt anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes adventures from the Great White North
The Northern Echos Podcast had the pleasure of sitting down with Gil Moore, drummer and co-founder of the iconic, multi–JUNO Award–winning Canadian rock band Triumph, and one of the newest inductees into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame (2025).
The conversation took place at the inaugural Awesome Music Project (AMP) Golf Tournament, where Gil reflected on Triumph’s enduring legacy — music that continues to resonate as songs of hope, happiness, optimism, and connection.
He also shared his passion for music’s role in human health and well-being, and his ongoing quest to make music education as accessible as water and air through SoundsUnite — his groundbreaking, AI-driven freemium platform designed to empower youth, educators, and creative communities.
It was an inspiring, uplifting, and unforgettable conversation about legacy, purpose, and the transformative power of music.
