Hugh Dillon (born May 31, 1963) is a Canadian musician and actor. Dillon is the lead singer of the punk-influenced band the Headstones. He is also a film and television actor; his notable roles include Mike Sweeney in Durham County and Ed Lane in Flashpoint.
Dillon was born and grew up in Kingston, Ontario. He was one of The Tragically Hip's pot dealers in high school.
Dillon is the lead singer for the hard rock band Headstones. Formed in 1987, the band's debut release Picture Of Health (1993) was met with not just critical acclaim but was certified Platinum, selling in excess of 100,000 copies and spawning the singles "When Something Stands For Nothing", "Cemetery", "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" and "Three Angels". Kicking off a recording career that spans three decades, the band has since gone on to release seven studio albums and countless chart topping singles. Known for their intense and authentic performance style, Headstones remain true to their DIY aesthetic. At a time when style is often valued over substance, they craft hard hitting tunes with brutally honest lyrics.
After the Headstones broke up in 2003, Dillon formed the band Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir, an indie rock band whose style draws from country, pop, punk and new wave influences. Band members were guitarist J.P. Polsoni, Chris Osti on bass, keyboardist Ben Kobayashi, and percussionist Derek Downham. The band released an album, The High Co$t of Low Living, in 2005 through the Ching Music label. Dillon also released an album entitled Works Well with Others in 2009 through Paul Langois's Ching Music.
