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 I’ve got a deep sack of northern tales and adventures to draw from. I 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 I pertnear got shot in Fort Providence or the time I was a hero on Great Slave Lake or the time I got an email from seven chickens or how I found out the difference between men and women at the town dump when I was just a kid; but then again, I might tell you sumpthing else entirely.
