With 10 albums and thirty years of performing his songs across Canada and the UK Rodney Brown remains committed to his Northwestern Ontario roots. An award winning singer-songwriter Rodney’s CD North Land details a unique time in history when Fort William [now Thunder Bay] reigned as the inland headquarters for the Canadian fur trade. Filled with songs of adventure and risk, triumph and heartbreak this excellent recording, produced by Paul Mills, features some of Canada’s best roots musicians. Following the release of the highly acclaimed CD, Big Lonely, North Land transports you across the waterways of North America and to the Great Glen of Scotland. The album culminates two years of research into the people, explorations and events that defined our boundaries. An exciting new CD with stellar performances by Rodney and an accompanying cast of Canada’s finest, “North Land” will please music and history lovers alike.

Did you know @thecityofkenora gets its name from combining those of three communities: Keewatin, Norman, and Rat Portage? We recommend a day trip to Coney Island followed by pub grub and brews at @lowbrewco’s taproom (don’t forget to get a selfie with Husky the Muskie!).
