About Musicians of the Midnight Sun

Join northern musician and storyteller Pat Braden as he sits down with the music makers from the Northwest Territories, (NWT) from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s. A time of cultural and musical revolution not only in North America but around the world. These stories are pure Canadiana and form part of our country’s musical heritage yet unheard. “Musicians of the Midnight Sun” gives voice to these musicians, the place and time they lived, the stories they hold and the music they played.
