MINE! True Stories and Legends of the Porcupine Gold Rush

MINE!” is a musical journey back in time to a world of prospectors, pioneers, bootlegger-bandits, dog-sledders, high-graders and moonshiners.

There are many famous stories about the Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon and the California Gold Rush of 1849. Another major gold rush happened right here in Ontario, in 1909, up North in the Porcupine Camp.

Award-winning Singer-Songwriter, Actor and Playwright Will Gillespie shares harrowing tales of adventure and perseverance from this unsung chapter of Canadian history through new, original Folk songs written in the popular styles of that bygone era, from Bluegrass to Ragtime, Swing, Waltzes and more, performed by by Will Gillespie and His Old-Time String-Band, featuring Adam Till on dobro and guitar, Jonathan Sloan on upright bass and Troy Williams on mandolin and banjo.

Although this event is free, it will accept optional pay-what-you-may donations ($15-20 suggested) for admission
