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.

Wally Firth is a Scottish/Gwich'in fiddler from Teetł'it Zheh / Fort McPherson, NT. Wally articulates a rich narrative of his own musical life as well as a roll call of the musicians who entertained throughout the Mackenzie Delta going all the way back to the 1930s. He has lived many lives in his own lifetime and through it all, the fiddle has been a close companion. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to listen to and document his stories and even more thrilled to open Series 2 of the Musicians of the Midnight Sun podcast series featuring Wally Firth!
