A new song called Happy Birthday Thunder Bay celebrates the city s 50th birthday, while name checking places well know to the residents of pre-amalgamation Port Arthur and Fort William.
The song is part of a community project undertaking by the Superior Theatre Festival called the undercurrents 2020 project.
Rodney Brown wrote and recorded Happy Birthday Thunder Bay after being commissioned. Originally, they were going to have my recorded song playing over speakers and then have a dancer dance to the piece on the waterfront as a public event during the summertime, said Brown. But the pandemic kind of threw through that off and there were some other delays. But yeah, finally the project came together just a couple weeks ago.
