Only one day left until the free NORTH BAY 2 Northern Troubadours in Concert w/ special guest Rose Erin Stokes - North Bay Museum TOMORROW, October 7th, at the North Bay Museum! No tickets required.
Where better to hear songs and stories about the Algoma Rail Line and the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario Railway than at a museum which was once a historic railway station itself?
Folk/Roots Singer-Songwriters Will Gillespie and Brian Tremblay are teaming up and hitting the road on tour across Northern Ontario during Ontario Culture Days in October 2025 to perform new, original songs in old, familiar styles, telling stories from different unsung chapters in the history of Northern Ontario, from their respective concept Folk albums:
"MINE! True Stories and Legends of the Porcupine Gold Rush"
(Will Gillespie) & "In the Tracks of the Black Bear" (Brian Tremblay).
Special guest, local North Bay Singer-Songwriter Rose Erin Stokes, will play a local opener / "tweener" mini-set between Brian Tremblay's Algoma Central Railway / Sault Ste Marie Train songs and Will Gillespie's storytelling song cycle about the local Folk heroes behind the legends of the Porcupine Gold Rush. She has graciously agreed to fill-in for Lynn Eckroth at the performances in North Bay and Kirkland Lake.
This tour is made possible thanks to the support of the Ontario Arts Council. No registration or tickets are required, simply arrive by/before 7pm on October 7th.
