Jim Green is a celebrated storyteller, poet, writer, broadcaster, and entertainer who has been living in the Northwest Territories for more than forty years. He’s a gyrating old counter-culture buzzard with a keen wit, sharp tongue, twinkling eye, and an infectious sense of wonder at this life. From Fort Smith, NWT, Jim is a jack-of-all-trades; adventurer, survivor and consummate bullshooter. His performances have been called entertaining, provocative and just a tad outrageous.
After 40 years he’s got a deep sack of northern tales and adventures to draw from. He might tell you about springtime in the north when the snow melts, the ducks come back and the whole world is abloom with doggie flowers or about the time he pertnear got shot in Fort Providence or the time he was a hero on Great Slave Lake or the time he got an email from seven chickens or how he found out the difference between men and women at the town dump when he was just a kid; but then again, he might tell you sumpthing else entirely.
He’s performed his own material in every province and territory of Canada. (And we happen to know that last fall he had a four-island, 16 engagement gig in Hawaii; a tough assignment but somebody hadda do it.)
